Explore Lisbon in a gas free and fun way

Lisbon can now be discovered by visitors with the help of a three-wheeled, two-seated yellow touring car guided by a GPS system. These "GoCars" were pioneered by an American company, GoCar GPS Guided Tours, and are available in Lisbon's Baixa neighborhood. The mini-cars rent for 20 euros per hour and come equipped with guidance systems in Portuguese, English and French. German and Spanish will soon be added. The on-board guide will point out landmarks and points of interest. The GoCar is environmentally friendly and has been used in San Francisco and Miami. New companies such Red Tour GPS and A vida é Bela offer pedal cars and Segways for Lisbon visitors. For more Segway tours options in Lisbon click here. City Cruiser rents a modern tricycle or eco-mobiles, with pedals and electric motors. All are based in the heart of the city and allow one to explore Lisbon in a gas free and fun way.
