Excursions & Driving Itineraries from Lisbon
- The Estoril Coast & Sintra National Park:Departing Lisbon via the scenic N6 Avenida Marginal follows the Tagus River to the golden beaches of Cascais and Estoril. Continuing along the winding N247 past Cabo da Roca – the westernmost point of continental Europe – toward the misty forests and palaces of Sintra showcases the precise handling and elevated road clearance of a Range Rover Sport or Velar.
- The Arrábida Natural Park & Comporta: Heading south across the landmark Ponte 25 de Abril on the A2 motorway leads to the limestone cliffs and turquoise waters of the Serra da Arrábida. Following the dramatic coastal ridge roads down toward the fishing port of Setúbal before continuing onto the golden pine-fringed beaches of Comporta highlights the luxury all-weather capability and quiet long-distance cruising comfort of the Land Rover Defender or flagship Range Rover.
- Northern Capital Route: Excursion to Porto: For an extended Portuguese journey, taking the A1 Autostrada north from Lisbon leads directly through the central rolling countryside to Northern Portugal’s cultural capital. Choosing to drive a Range Rover rental to Porto offers a smooth 300-kilometre motorway cruise before arriving at the Douro River, historic port cellars, and vibrant Ribeira waterfront.
Essential Traffic Rules & Portugal Toll Regulations
