Car Rental in Menorca

Several international car rental companies provide their services at Menorca Airport. They are Avis, Europcar, Hertz, National, Auto Europa, Easy car, Centauro, Atesa, and Owners cars. The representative offices of these companies operate all year round, without days off. The representative offices are found in the parking lot, which is placed next to the passenger terminal. The information desks of the car rental companies are also stationed in the arrival hall of the terminal.

Due to the seasonal influx of customers during the summer months, the companies strongly recommend that you should book the necessary vehicle in advance at that time. In order to make a preliminary reservation, you can use the form on the website of the airport or any other online vehicle rental service.

When concluding a rental agreement, a valid driver's license and an identity card of the driver will be required. The companies may offer a wide range of both reasonably priced and executive car models. The rental vehicles are collected from the parking lot of the airport. The cars are returned to the parking lot in the same area. It should be taken in account that not all the routes indicated on the maps may be available to tourists. Access to some public roads may be restricted. Read all...

Another fortification that deserves attention and is located nearby is called Fort Marlborough. It was built by the British in 1726 and named after John Churchill, Duke of Marlborough. Being destroyed by the Spaniards in 1782, it was restored in the last period of British rule on the island (in 1802). For a more detailed introduction to the history of Menorca, one should head to the nearby Museo Militar de Menorca. Since the history of the island is closely related to the war, it passed from one hand to another, and this cultural institution fully reflects its history. Among its exhibits are weapons from different eras.

Having arrived in Ciudadela, many tourists first and foremost visit Faro de Punta Nati - the lighthouse offers magnificent views of the Mediterranean Sea, cliffs, and hills. Built in 1911, the lighthouse is still functioning. A rocky road that leads to Faro de Punta Nati gives some charm to the route - it seems as if everything happens not on Earth. Ciutadella de Menorca Cathedral is considered the city's main church, notable for being built on the site of an older mosque in 1362. The cathedral has been repeatedly attacked since then - for example, in 1558, by the Ottoman Empire. In 1813, its Catalan Gothic style was changed to neoclassical, when it was decided to restore the shrine. During the Civil War of 1936, the cathedral was desecrated and plundered and restored to its present form only in 1941.
