Best Ways To Get Around Portugal

By -

One of Europe’s cheapest destinations, Portugal is a great place to visit whether you’re holidaying with friends or family. With a great climate, this nation borders the Atlantic Ocean rather than the Mediterranean, offering guests to the country something a little different. Services and facilities are highly developed, offering everything that you could wish for on a break away. And with a great number of resorts and cities providing numerous attractions and entertainment options, there is plenty to see and do.
There are a great variety of travel methods in Portugal, and you may find that if you’re staying within a resort complex you don’t even need to venture outside, with everything you need for a great trip away already provided for. However, if you want to explore, one of the best ways is to use car hire so that you can relax and move around at your own pace. Individuals interested in utilising car rental firms can book here, taking advantage of deals to make travelling around Portugal as cheap as possible. And whilst you may think of car hire as a luxury, it can actually work out far cheaper than constantly using public services and taxis.
If you’re exploring Lisbon then, in addition to your rental car, you’ll be able to use the city’s famous yellow trams. These trams traverse the city landscape, allowing you to enjoy a holiday ride whilst you’re exploring the sights and sounds of Lisbon’s bustling, coastal life. Beautiful fresh pastry’s can be gorged upon whilst you take in Gothic cathedrals, quaint museums and the Bairro Alto district which offers reggae, jazz and fado beats after dark.
Due to the geography of the country, roads tend to be very windy and narrow as they snake along coastal paths and rise into the mountains. Exploring by road will offer you an opportunity to discover far further afield than Portugal’s famous cities and the popular Algarve region, and you’ll be able to see some of the nations stunning and unspoilt countryside and landscapes. Approximately 3.5hours direct drive from Lisbon is the gorgeous town of Porto; a quaint and charming urban area with the Serralves museum, the Sao Francisco church and the Domluis Bridge. The bridge in itself is a sight to be seen, and you’ll be able to enjoy calming cruises down the Douro River for the ultimate relaxation.
Like with many popular destinations, there is far more to see outside of the bustling cities and thriving resorts, which cater specifically towards tourists. Whilst you’ll be able to have an ideal holiday away by keeping to urban spots, hiring a car and venturing further afield is well worthwhile if you really want to immerse yourself in Portuguese culture. Whilst the nation has a good railway network, utilising this means that you’ll have to keep to rail schedules and will often find yourself paying out extensively for ticket after ticket. But by hiring a car you can not only keep your costs down, but explore the wonderful European nation at your own ease and leisure.

5 Strongest Drinks Mixed Drink Recipes #5: The Long Island Ice Tea. This one is a classic. I can remember the first time a friend introduced me to this. After three I was laughing because they were so smooth then I stood up. Then something happened (obvious censoring) and everyone laughed at me for months after. Good times. The Long Island Ice Tea was long the king (queen?) of all strong alcoholic mixed drinks, and still deserves a place on the list. Recipe: 1 shot of vodka, 1 shot of rum, 1 shot of gin, 1 shot of gin, 1 shot of triple sec, 1 lemon, coke. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice add the spirits into the cocktail shaker. Squeeze a fresh lemon into the shaker as well. Put the lid on and shake, add to a tall glass then add lots of ice before slowly pouring the coke on top of the ice.
