Embark on your Lisbon adventure with my free one-day guide! Discover the perfect tips to explore the city, indulge in delicious Portuguese cuisine, and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of the capital.
Renting a car in Lisbon? I recommend Sixt for great one-day rental prices. Just be aware, there's a 50€ extra fee for dropping off the car elsewhere, and you'll need to cover toll costs, around 30€ from Lisbon to Porto.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Ludovica Casolo
Available for hire
Hi, I am Ludovica, 26 y/o, with a bachelor's degree in Economics and a Master's degree in Innovation & Technology Management, currently working in the world of Digital Marketing in an Italian fashion company.
At 16, I decided to spend my fourth year of high school in the United States of America, to experience that American dream you hear about and see in movies. So, I decided to start a blog and share my experience, ensuring my family could stay updated on my life and future exchange students could find support for their doubts and questions.
During my final year of my Master's, I spent a semester in Australia, in Sydney, a city close to my heart. And now, here I am still writing and talking about my travels.
