Lagos is not only the name of the most populous city in Africa, but also the name of an old town on the Portuguese coast of the Algarve. For most tourists Lagos is synonymous with the harbour town in Portugal. Fine beaches and bizarrely shaped rocks make the Algarve a popular holiday destination.

But there is more than Lagos out there to discover in Portugal's south. In a hire car you are free to explore and take detours on the way to the destination of your choice.

If you are traveling in Portugal in a hire car, there are some traffic regulations you ought to be aware of: If you have held your driver's licence for less than a year, you cannot drive faster than 90 km/hour on motorways. Otherwise, the maximum speed is 120 km/h for passenger cars – indicated by traffic signage. This applies to the whole of Portugal and also to Lagos. Hire cars are no exception. You should pay particular attention to the speed limit on dangerous roads. Also, do not let it bother you if a car comes up close behind you and then honks its horn before overtaking. It is how they do it in Portugal. Experience the Algarve in your own rental car. Lagos is an ideal starting point for exploring the west.
