Plan your journey from Lisbon Airport

The city itself is only four miles south of the airport - and can be reached via the 2ª Circular.

Lisbon is the capital city of Portugal- set right on the Tagus River (Rio Tejo). The city is made up of a number of neighbourhoods, each with their own unique charm, built on a series of hills. Your first stop should be Bairro Alto - where you'll enjoy widespread shopping and a thriving nightlife.

Fancy something more traditional? Alfama is the oldest part of Lisbon. You'll also see some of the best fado performances in the whole of Portugal. The lower town of Baixa has plenty of restaurants and galleries, and Lisbon's eccentric version of Paris’ Eiffel Tower - the famous Elevador de Santa Justa.

Take a trip to Belém and see the Monument to the Discoveries. This symbolises the country’s golden age of exploration. Head across the road to the Monastery of Jerónimos – an imposing World Heritage monument, and resting place of explorer Vasco da Gama. Don’t leave Belém without trying the custard tarts at Antiga Confeitaria de Belém. The local pastries are definitely worth braving the long queues for.

There's so much to discover in Lisbon. Hire an Avis car to see the city in style and comfort.

Road Trips from Lisbon Airport

Lisbon is conveniently located in the centre of the west coast of Portugal, making it a good starting point for road trips further afield. If you're heading north from the airport (perhaps to Coimbra or Porto?) take the A1 motorway via the 2ª Circular. If you’re driving south (to Faro for example), exit the 2ª Circular and take the Vasco de Gama Bridge.

The city of Lisbon boasts miles of stunning coastline, and some of the top beaches are only a half hour drive away – enjoy views that are second to none as you drive.

Cascais
Cascais is just a 30-minute drive from Lisbon. Guincho beach is a hotspot for sun-worshippers, as well as adventurous surfers. Make sure you take time to explore the old town, featuring exclusive boutiques and seafood restaurants where you can dine alfresco. Fancy a leisurely day out? Cascais is just the ticket.

Sintra
Take a half hour drive in your hire car from Lisbon Airport, and you'll arrive at the picturesque town of Sintra. This area features a number of major attractions, including the Palácio Nacional de Sintra, Pena Park and the Moors castle. Make sure you explore the series of labyrinthine caves at the Quinta da Regaleira estate as well. For a spectacular evening view, pick out a spot at the cliffs of Cabo da Roca lighthouse to watch the sun set over the horizon.

Porto
If you're craving a decent road trip, then head out early in the morning in your rental car from Lisbon to Porto. Featuring winding medieval streets and Art Deco architecture, Porto has plenty of charm - and it's right on the banks of the River Douro. São Francisco church was built in the 13th century and is definitely worth exploring further. The nearby neighbourhood of Miragaia is full of quaint cafés and restaurants serving traditional Portuguese cuisine.
