Discount Car Hire in Lisbon

Rent a car in Lisbon, the lovely capital city of Portugal. Lying on the point where the Tagus River reaches the Atlantic, Lisbon has long been one of Europe's most important port cities, and the country today carries on a rich seafaring tradition.

Portugal was once one of the world's foremost naval powers, and its colonial empire stretched from Africa to South America. While this reputation has waned substantially over the years, the sea is still very much an important part of life in Lisbon. The shipping industry continues to be a vital element of its economy, and ferries upon the Tagus River remain a vital element of public transportation.

To best explore Lisbon's fascinating history during your stay, be sure you have the freedom to travel as you please. Auto Europe can provide you with a discount car hire to meet all your travel needs. Auto Europe offers Lisbon rental car pick up locations and a large car hire fleet for you to choose from.

Exploring Lisbon with a Hire Car

While in Lisbon be sure to visit the Mosteiro des Jeronimo (Jeronimo's Monastery). The monastery was built on the grounds of a former hermitage constructed by Henry the Navigator, completed over the course of fifty years in the sixteenth century. It was commissioned by Portuguese King Manuel the First, to commemorate the return of Vasco da Gama from India.

The architecture of the monastery, conceived by Diogo de Boitaca, is known as Manuelian, a later gothic style that evolved in Portugal. While the entirety of the monastery is a wonder, its "South Portal" is particularly awe inspiring, featuring walls of ornately carved stone topped by beautiful pinnacles that make them 32 metres tall.
