In Almancil Portugal for about 6 days this December

Hi,
Is your accomodation flexible? Almancil is in the Algarve, and it is too far to day trip to Lisbon or Seville - let alone Porto.

Are you hiring a car? Neither Lisbon or Seville is an obvious day trip from Almancil as a day trip if driving, as both are 3+ hours each way on toll roads. Parking is an issue in both places. Both are non-starters as a day trip by public transport. The train station in Almancil is a mile out of the town centre. There are no trains to Seville from Portugal, but there is a regular bus service.

You haven’t got time for Porto, as it’s another half day beyond Lisbon.

Is your accommodation fixed in Almancil? Lisbon is a better base for December.

Hi

Our accommodation was booked many months ago and is fixed . We could stay a night or two in Lisbon and Seville Or Lisbon and Porto , though

We want to make the best use of our stay

Doesn’t matter if it gets a little hectic .

You could stay two nights in Seville OR Lisbon, but not both, they are in opposite directions. Porto is just too far, not worth it. Driving would be most convenient; you'll probably need a car in Almancil anyway. What do you plan to do there in December by the way?

Is it expensive to rent a car ?

Thank you all

Where are you landing? How are you getting to Almancil?
Cars should be very cheap to rent in December, except perhaps around christmas: check Auto Europe for prices. The closest car rental options should be in Faro, if this is where you land you should just rent a car at the airport.
