Car Hire Penafiel - Mini guide to Penafiel

In the Oporto (or Porto) district of Portrugal you will find Penafiel. Though Penafiel itself is home to only 7.9 thousand inhabitants, when you include its lesser surrounding municipalities the population jumps to nearly ten times that housing 38 parishes. The land covering these areas has structures that range from the medieval to the modern. In the Porto district you will find that the area is rich in culture, and with a car hire, you will never find yourself with a lack of things to do.

There is rarely a pleasure that compares to a trip to the nearby Duoro River where you may take a boat or ferry trip to enjoy the lush landscape as you relax. If you would like a more panoramic view, however you may prefer to take a ride on a helicopter. This is also available by the Duoro, and you may appreciate the savings when you travel with another party. Penafiel is close to both of these activities, and many other exciting attractions.

When you visit neighbouring Porto, you will find that there is an active night-life with several popular bars and clubs, and you don’t have to look very far to find yourself on one of the beautiful beaches, either. You will also want to make time to visit the Museu Romantico, a home with views of the sea that the King of Italy had stayed in when he was on Exile. You can also sit outside in the gardens and enjoy some cheese while sampling port at the Solar Vinho do Porto. Another exciting treasure to be enjoyed here that is not as well known as others is green wine, or vinho verde. This dry, light wine is made in the north of Porto with specific, low sugar grapes. This is truly a treasure that you want to discover on your visit to Penafiel.
