Óbidos

The medieval Óbidos village is one of the prettiest and most well conserved castle villages of Portugal. Just a bit less than 80 km from capital Lisbon, this city had a huge strategic importance. It was occupied even before the Romans arrived to the Iberian Peninsula, it prospered when it was taken by the Portuguese royal family, which later offered it to the House of Queens.

The village of Óbidos is also known for its Ginjinha, which should be drunk from a chocolate cup. You can find this easily in any of the many coffee and souvenirs places inside the walls.

Foz do Arelho

It is a place of true beauty, connecting the Óbidos lagoon and the ocean, which used to bathe the west walls of the Óbidos Castle during the Roman Empire. Its wooden walkways offer impressive ocean views, contrasting with the calmness of the lagoon.

Make sure you book your place as soon as possible!
