Driving Tips for Lisbon
Discover what makes Lisbon one of the top travel destinations in Europe from the front seat of your SIXT rental car. Our driving tips will make you feel like a local:
- Speed Limits: Expect speed limits of 50 kph (31 mph) in urban areas, up to 100 kph (62 mph) outside the cities, and 120 kph (74 mph) on the highways.
- Narrow Roads: Many of the roads in historic neighborhoods can only fit one car at a time. Take your time and be mindful of corners.
- Roundabouts: Roundabouts are common in Lisbon. Stay in the center lane until you locate your exit.
- Road signs: Many road signs outside of Lisbon aren't reflective, so they're difficult to read at night. Make sure to reserve a GPS to avoid confusion at night.
