Rent a car in Alentejo

Alentejo is a destination in Portugal that all visitors want to return to, and see its beautiful scenery again, from the local countryside to the region’s villages and cities.

This is the perfect place for some relaxing holidays given the tranquil, rural environment. Don’t forget to rent a vehicle and enjoy the magnificent views of wheat and barley fields that stretch off into the horizon.

The cities of Alentejo are the hub of local services and cultural attractions, which focus on tourism. The natural, archaeological and local heritage makes each city a fascinating destination.

The Guadiana River flows through the Alentejo region, adding to the marvellous scenery. In addition to this natural mountainous scenery, Alentejo’s traditions are also a key attraction, from local song to handicrafts, and are still strongly preserved. The local cuisine is considered to be among the finest in Portugal.

Places to visit:

Start your trip to Alentejo by visiting the city of Alcácer do sal, where you can admire a beautiful combination of the river – take a stroll along its banks – and the flea markets this town is famous for.

Don’t miss the city of Beja, a real historical gem, and Castelo de Vide and its medieval quarter. Pass by Indómita de Elvas, a museum within a city and home to the Amoreira Aqueduct.

In the Alta do Alentejo region, visit the city of Portalegre, where you’ll see the vast regional plains. We also recommend passing through the city of Serpa, where you can enjoy the spectacle of traditional summer night chants. This city is also known for producing high quality wine. Experience the shining marble plaza in Vila Viçosa, a place that you must include in your trip.
