Today, travellers to Portugal are making a startling discovery of their own. In cyberspace. Tourists looking for great car hire deals online were delighted to find out that industry giant Izzicarhire had announced plans to expand their operation to the Iberian Peninsula
Ljubljana, Slovenia, March 24, 2010 (PRESSbooth.ORG) -- Portugal is popular with tourists, but never feels crowded or overrun, unlike some holiday hotspots elsewhere in Europe. The established resorts are loaded with all the modern facilities one would expect, but it remains easy to get away from the main tourist areas and experience a genuine sense of discovery stumbling upon hidden, rarely visited places. There are any number of sun drenched beaches, but Portugal also has beautiful countryside, flower covered hillsides, medieval castles and picturesque little villages. The major cities like Lisbon and Porto are a joy for the visitor, who can wander cobbled streets and enjoy the riverside views and magnificent cathedrals.
The capital is served by Lisbon Airport and is a fantastic destination for travellers looking for a different kind of city break.Visitors can immerse themselves in the rich cultural heritage of the capital. Wander the numerous museums before stopping off to relax at a charming Art Nouveau cafe. Night life in centred around the Bairro Alto. Shop until you drop. Lisbon is home to the biggest shopping mall in the Iberian Peninsula. Max out your credit card before loading up your Izzicarhire.com hire car with your purchases.
Faro Airport welcomes visitors to the capital of the Algarve. A hire car is the perfect way to get around this modern, lively city. Izzicarhire.com offer more makes and models than major rivals at a price that can't be beaten. Enter the old town through the 18th century gate to see what remains of the medieval walls. The main attraction in Faro is the macabre chapel of Igreja do Carmo whose walls are adorned with the bones of long dead monks.
The mercantile city of Porto is served by Sa Carnerio Airport about 15km from the city centre. Collect a hire car from the Izzicarhire.com office and head down town. The city is more temperate than other parts of Portugal thanks to sea winds from the Atlantic, but summer temperatures can still reach 40 degrees. At the heart of the city is the historic district of Riberia, a dedicated Unesco World Heritage site.
With so much to see on such a small island, car hire from Madeira Airport makes perfect sense. Don't miss out on any of the historical monuments in the capital Funchal before checking out picturesque villages, volcanic caves, beautiful beaches and breathtaking views that can be found all over the island.Destination Manager Damijan Milivojevic commented, “Exploration is part of the Portuguese soul.
