With some great road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience all that Belmonte, 18 miles away, has to offer. Belmonte Castle, Torre Centum Cellas and Belmonte Synagogue alone make the drive out here worthwhile. The locals will also likely point you toward Seia, 25 miles away. If you can only find time for one thing here, make sure it’s Museu do Pão. (But we’d also highly recommend River Beach Loriga and Bread Museum.)
