With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience everything that Pombal, 16 miles away, has to offer. History Museum of Popular Art Portuguese, Pombal Castle and Castelo de Pombal alone make the drive out here worthwhile. Nazare is another terrific option. It’s 19 miles away and has an array of interesting things to see and do. Nazare Beach, Nazare Lighthouse and Praca de Touros are only the start.
