Travel Advice & Information
Whether you’re more of a city slicker or countryside lover, Portugal road trips can encompass both, while including a generous dose of ocean in-between. Choose Lisbon as the starting line on your road trip map and temporarily trade your car for a tram, undoubtedly the best way to explore the city’s hilly interior. We’d recommend the traditional Tram 28, which will take you on a tour through the charming neighbourhoods of Alfama, Baixa and Estrela. Alternatively, kick off in Portugal’s second city of Porto, with its elegant arrangement of colourful buildings balanced along the banks of the Rio Douro. Here the contemporary architecture provides an intriguing contrast to the azulejos (hand-painted tiles) found within the historic centre.
Once you’ve refuelled with the help of authentic pastéis de nata (Portuguese egg tarts), swap the city streets for country roads and head south to the rural region of Alentejo. Take a break from being behind the wheel and sample the finest Portuguese wines, or indulge in some well-deserved relaxation on one of the coastline’s unspoilt beaches. Blessed with captivating cultural heritage, culinary excellence and stunning scenery, the opportunities are endless when it comes to Portugal road trips.
