Lisbon Car Hire
To celebrate
its 25
th birthday, Holiday Autos is offering a great big 25% off car
hire for 25 days across 25 different locations!
The offer
applies for all pick-ups until the end of October 2012, with a different
location available each day. This celebratory deal continues on the 22nd
of May with car hire in the wonderful city of Lisbon!
Situated on the North banks of the River Tagus at the tip
of the Iberian Peninsula, culturally rich Lisbon offers a beautiful blend of
cathedrals castles and urban neighbourhoods.
It is estimated that Lisbon is over four centuries
older than Rome, making it the second city to be founded in Europe after
Athens. The many different civilisations that have at one time ruled the city are
woven into its architecture, giving the city a patchwork-like quality. A visit to Lisbon has to include a trip to see the Belem Tower; built in
1515 as a fortress to guard the entrance to Lisbon's harbour. The tower was the
starting point for many of the voyages of discovery, and for the sailors it was
the last sight of their homeland.
To get up high and look out over the city, then the
millennium old walls of the Castelo de Sao Jorge (St George's Castle) are the
best place to head. And if you've got a head for heights, you might also like
to perch atop the Águas Livres - the largest aqueduct in Europe!
For a taste of the life aquatic, Lisbon is home to one
of the largest oceanariums in the world. Acclaimed for accurately recreating
various world underwater ecosystems, make your way there to experience
incredible diving.
If you'd rather check out the real deal, then Lisbon offers something
for that too! The city is surrounded by a number of varied and interesting beaches,
each with their own character.
The
BBC listed Praia da Adraga among the most beautiful beaches in Europe, and one of our personal favorites. Most
days you will find it virtually deserted. A short distance away is a completely
different beach experience - Costa da Caparica is a
crowded beach with a festival atmosphere. The beach also offers some great
places to eat and some lively night life. Lisbon is a large sprawling city offering plenty to see and do. With
access to a car you will be able to travel back and
forth through its history and beaches with ease!
