With some great day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to explore everything that Tondela, 17 miles away, has to offer. Among your first few stops here should be Caramulo Museum, Chapel of Our Lady of the Meadows and Church of Viseu. Aveiro is another wonderful option. It’s 25 miles away and boasts an array of interesting things to do. Costa Nova Beach, Barra Beach and Ria de Aveiro are just the start.
