• Head to Coimbra for a fun-filled sightseeing adventure. Roughly 110 miles from Alfama, it's home to lots of inspiring attractions such as Portugal dos Pequenitos.
• Next stop? Consider Évora, which is around 65 miles away. Évora Cathedral is one local draw card you really shouldn't miss.

If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Portugal, then it's likely you'll need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be able to rent a car. You should also note that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll have to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some other requirements for international car rentals are:

• Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most places to rent a car. If you're younger, it may still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to what kinds of cars you can rent.
• Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before getting behind the wheel. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your rental car.
