From the airport, you can start by heading to your hotel. Now it is time to see as many sights as possible. Plan your personal city tour at your Lisbon hotel.
Why actually always start on the streets, when you have the chance to have a look at this capital from airy heights:

• Torre de Belém
• The Mosteiro dos Jerónimos monastery
• Cemitèrio dos Prazeres

Modeled after the famous statue of Christ in Rio de Janeiro, this unique structure is also a breathtaking viewing platform. If you are ever in Lisboa, you should not miss this vantage point to take a look over this picturesque coastal city.

The Torre de Belém is the landmark of Lisbon and is located at the gates of the center. So you will leave the city of Lisbon for a short moment if you want to see this ancient and historical structure. With the rental car all this is no problem if you want to visit this lighthouse. Flyers are often available at the hotel to inform you in advance about interesting facts. Or you can look for it at the airport.

Hardly any other building has such a lasting impact on the cityscape as this monastery from the beginning of the 17th century. Embark on an exciting journey through time and take a look at the museums. The archaeological museum as well as the naval museum are located here. A piece of the history of Portugal becomes tangible here.

Not everything in Lisbon is offered in the travel guide. Some sites are hidden or simply not given as much attention. To give you the chance to experience at least a little of it, here are a few tips:

• With a rental car, there are many great destinations to visit in the coastal region around Lisbon. The fairy-tale castle landscape of Sintra is about half an hour away from Lisbon by car. Here, magnificent castles, palaces, ruins and villas are picturesquely nestled in the wooded hills and can be visited on various tours. The Moorish Castelo dos Mouros and the romantic Palácio Nacional da Pena are the main attractions of this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
• Cabo da Rocha, the westernmost point of continental Europe, is also easy to reach by rental car. It is located at an altitude of about 140 meters on a steep coast. Not far away is also the small town of Évora, which radiates a great flair with its noble palaces, churches and alleys.

Porto is located about 320km north of Lisbon. By car you can reach the city within 3 hours. Just take the A1 in the direction of Porto. Enjoy the scenery along the picturesque coast. If you are planning this longer trip by rental car, make sure that you rent an appropriate vehicle. Because especially in a convertible, the trip to Porto in glorious sunshine should be something very special.

It can also be worthwhile to book a hotel in Porto. The Porto Airport also offers you the possibility to return the rental car there.
