Portugal offers the perfect mixture of traditional villages and lively cities. Why not visit a vineyard, drive along the awe-inspiring coastline or immerse yourself in some Portuguese culture.
Hiring a car and driving around Portugal, namely the Algarve is simply the best way to discover it. There are lots of hidden beaches and beautifully set villages hidden in the Portuguese countryside that simply need to be uncovered.
Currently, there are some toll roads throughout the Porto and Lisbon area. You can purchase an automatic toll device from some motorway service stations and Via Verde shops. You must return the device prior to leaving Portugal. Tolls are due to be introduced on the main roads which serve the Algarve, including the A22, A23, A24 and A25 from mid November 2011. It is yet to be decided how payment will be collected for use of these roads.
