Travelling by hire car in Lisbon

Lisbon lies along the river Tagus, in the region of Estremadura. This area once formed the 'extreme border' of christian society (during the reconquista) and is adjacent to the Atlantic coast. Due to its strategic location it became a bustling centre for trade and commerce in Europe. The city's history is a turbulent one, with conquests by the Romans as well as the Moors. After the collapse of the Roman empire the city deteriorated. This continued until the year 711, when the Moors invaded the Iberic peninsula and rejuvenated many cities in Portugal and Spain. Nowadays, Lisbon is a lively centre of commercial activity, where melancholy echoes only in the distinctive sound of the Fado music. Some of the areas of interest include:

• residential quarter Alfama, where many 'fado-houses' are located. These are restaurants in which traditional Fado music is presented
• the 'Museu Calouste Gulbenkian', with works of Frans Hals, Rembrandt, Manet but Egyptian, Islamic, Chinese and Japanese art as well
• beautiful parks, under which Parque Eduardo VII (with many greenhouses) and the Jardim Botânico (with a collection of rare species of plants and trees)

Besides many beautiful parks, Lisbon has numerous historical quarters and impressive squares. The Pedro IV square is a prominent square and used to function as a sprakling meeting place and location for public events. Nowadays, it is a tranquil yet breathtaking sight. The surroundings have more to offer, including:

• Santa Maria de Belém, a suburb housing the most prominent monuments of the city: the Mosteiro dos Jerónimos (Jerónimos Monastery, dating back to 1519) and the Torre de Bélem (memorial to explorer Vasco da Gama). Both of the monuments are listed under UNESCO)
• the Algarve region, being the southernmost region in Portugal. Beautiful hills and lush vegetation characterize the area. The beaches are very popular among tourists from all over the world
