    We found it easy enough, lots of parking bays along the main boulevard and down side streets, and the locals were really helpful when we asked for help

    Can you still go to the zoo without a rental car? Can we access the zoo without a car and just take cable car to experience the zoo?

    Yes, you don’t need a car to explore the park. The cable cars are a good walking distance from each other and it’s easy to get around on foot. Just bring good shoes!

    Hey! It depends who you go with but I paid around €340 for a Fiat Panda for 5 days with Avis 😊 booked in advance online and didn’t opt for extra insurance because I already had that covered under my travel insurance and credit card. Hope that helps!
