Located about six kilometres from the relatively large town of Lagos is Praia de Luz, a renowned beach front destination in the Algarve region of Portugal. Also known throughout Portugal and parts of Europe as ‘Luz’ or ‘Luz de Lagos’, it has grown from a small fishing village into a highly visited tourist town. As a result, car hire in Praia de Luz is available for guests.

The city of Praia de Luz can be reached via National highway 125, which stretches across the coastline of the Algarve region. Cheap car hire at Praia de Luz provides the perfect mode of transport for travellers wanting to see not just Praia de Luz, but the surrounding coastline also. The N125 highway is less than one kilometre from the coast.

Visitors can choose from a variety of hotels and resorts, particularly those tourists not concerned about the price. There were predominantly villas dotting the Praia de Luz landscape, but today, many resorts and hotels can be seen. Nevertheless, the beach front villas are still quite popular among tourists today.

The beach at Praia de Luz is probably the biggest attraction in the city. It is currently listed as a Blue Flag Beach by the European Union, meaning it meets expected requirements of safety and cleanliness. There are two main areas along the beach, which include the rocky part and white sandy area.

Some of the other famous attractions in the town are the Roman archaeological site just a few kilometres from the city centre, and the Church of Nossa Senhora. Day trips are also possible with car rental at Praia de Luz.
