Højdepunkter

Portugal’s ancient walled towns are known for their beauty, but Óbidos is among the most impressively preserved. On this immersive self-guided audio tour, you’ll step behind medieval walls that have stood for centuries and explore cobblestone streets that still echo with the footsteps of royalty. You’ll also learn about the town’s remarkable architecture, religious heritage, and artistic legacy. This tour starts at the Old Fountain (Chafariz) outside the town walls. You’ll pass through the main gate (Porta da Vila) and wind your way along Rua Direita, the lively main street lined with artisan stalls and unique bookstores that celebrate Óbidos’ status as a UNESCO City of Literature. The tour ends back at the main entrance to the medieval section of the town, where you can sample the town’s famous ginjinha cherry liqueur served in edible chocolate cups.

About Lissabon

Lissabon vælter ned ad sine bakker mod Tejos munding, en by med kakkelklædte facader, raslende gule sporvogne, udsigtspunkter og sene, rolige middage.

De gamle kvarterer rummer det meste af charmen. Alfamas virvar af stræder klatrer op mod Castelo de São Jorge og genlyder af fado om aftenen, Baixas ordnede gadenet løber ned til det enorme Praça do Comércio ved floden, og Bairro Alto og Chiado blander boghandlere og caféer om dagen med barer om natten. Udsigtspunkter som Santa Luzia og Senhora do Monte indrammer røde tage og skinnende vand.

Top-ranked sights in Lissabon: Commerce Square (Praça do Comércio), Pena National Palace (Palacio Nacional da Pena), Alfama.
