Question 1

What are the major attractions in Somerville?

Accepted Answer

If your trip to Somerville is all organized but your itinerary is a little on the empty side, we can give you a few hints and tips.

If you're looking for a good reason to see what lies outside the city center, Old Somerville Courthouse is it. Like another one? Mitchell Pond is also worth the short trek out.

Question 2

What are the best road trip destinations near Somerville?

Accepted Answer

The greatest part about having your own ride is that you can travel where you want, when you want. Make full use of your newfound freedom by exploring all there is to do in Cullman. It's just 20 miles away. Cullman Golf Course, Ave Maria Grotto and Sportsman Lake Park alone make the drive out here worthwhile. The locals are also likely to point you toward Huntsville, 20 miles away. If you can only see one attraction here, let it be US Space and Rocket Center. (But we'd also highly recommend Bridge Street Town Centre and Huntsville Botanical Garden.)

Should I get a luxury rental car in Somerville?

Accepted Answer

You'll be glad to hear that there's an impressive variety of both economy and luxury rental vehicles on offer in Somerville. What you opt for is largely dependent on your funds and the activities you've got planned. Prestige vehicles offer the best in mod cons and comfort. If you're splashing out, why not book an SUV with all the bells and whistles, or perhaps an upmarket medium-sized sedan? Otherwise, if you're just after a car to get you from A to B as efficiently as possible, you're better off choosing a budget compact vehicle (or something else that won't burn a hole in your pocket).
