Valentine’s Day | Five Romantic Getaways in Portugal

The most romantic time of the year is right around the corner, and we just had to share some of our best recommendations of places where you can celebrate this event with your loved one.

 

Arcos de Valdevez

 

Arcos de Valdevez has an incomparable natural and historical beauty. Full of unique and idyllic locations, it’s ideal for a romantic walk or drive. You’re unlikely to find a spot more magical than the old bridge overlooking its river. The best way to get around the town and discover its fairytale-like charms is through a car rental, which you can do so by choosing your dream model and setting out to discover all that the village has for you.

   

Vila Nova de Gaia



Have you ever considered taking a romantic boat ride through Porto with your partner? How about an unforgettable candlelight dinner in the traditional part of town? You have an assortment of options, but one thing is certain, you will not find another city quite like this one and discovering its charms is easier behind the wheel of a Hertz car.

Fortunately, with four locations spread throughout the nearby city of Porto, picking up and dropping off your vehicle could not be any easier.

  

Viana do Castelo


In the Viana do Castelo district, near the border with Spain, you’ll find the village of Caminha.

With its wonderful beaches, spas, luxury hotels and a renewed focus on eco-friendly tourism, the village promises unmatched romantic moments in a naturally sustainable environment.

You’ll also find a Hetz location near you in Viana do Castelo, ensuring that visiting the Caminha village could not be any easier.

  

Parque de Pedras Salgadas


Near Vila Real, you’ll find the Parque de Pedras Salgadas, or in English, Salt Stones Park, which is often considered one of the best examples of balancing modern comfort with sustainability. If you need to spend some quality, peaceful time with you better half, then we simply must recommend a massage, romantic dinner, and access to their spas.

If you choose to spend a weekend here, don’t let transportation become a barrier, book a car in any of our 62 locations and enjoy your getaway with complete peace of mind.

  

 

If you’re looking for something rural and away from the city, then how about a romantic weekend in the Casas de Juromenha? Located in the heart of the Alentejo, these quaint and rustic houses provide romantic moments away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but with all the comfort and coziness we seek.

Visiting these small houses is made easy with Hertz, as you can rent a car in any location within the country and drop it off in Évora or any other rental location. The choice is yours.

 

These are just some of our recommendations for an unforgettable St. Valentine’s Day, but we have many others to share with you to celebrate other dates or events. See our other entries to learn more.
