With some awesome road trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to enjoy all that Alcobaça, 18 miles away, has to offer. Among your first stops here should be Nazare Beach, Nazare Lighthouse and Alcobaca Monastery. Pombal is another great option. It’s 20 miles away and home to tons of fun things to do. History Museum of Popular Art Portuguese, Pombal Castle and Castelo de Pombal are only the start.
