With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to experience everything that Selma, 20 miles away, has to offer. Among the first stops you make here should be Edmund Pettus Bridge, Museum of Slavery and Civil Rights and Brown Chapel AME Church. Located 25 miles away, Montgomery is another popular destination. If you drop by, don’t miss Montgomery Performing Arts Centre, Montgomery Zoo and Cramton Bowl.
