Rent a Car in Downtown Alges

Algés is a coastal suburb located directly west of Lisbon, situated on the northern shore of the Tejo Estuary and about 7 km from the city center. One rental company is located in Algés center, perfectly positioned for you if you want to explore Lisbon's western coastline toward Belém (3 km), Estoril (18 km), and Cascais (22 km). The A5 motorway is reached in just 2 minutes' drive.

Algés borders Belém with the Jerónimos Monastery and Torre de Belém, two of Portugal's most visited attractions just 3 km away. Along the Marginal Road to the east, you reach Lisbon's city center in 15 minutes, and the popular waterfront promenade along the Tejo Estuary essentially begins in Algés.
