With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to experience all that Szombathely, 45 miles away, has to offer. Bishop’s Palace, Szombathely Cathedral and Smidt Museum alone justify the drive out here. Don’t forget about Sümeg either! Just 45 miles away, Sumeg Castle, Loszerszam Muzeum Sumeg and Church of the Ascension are must-sees here.
