Destacados

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 Lisboa

Lisboa baja por sus colinas hasta el Tajo: fachadas de azulejos, tranvías amarillos, miradores y cenas tardías sin prisa.

Los barrios antiguos guardan la mayor parte del encanto. El laberinto de callejas de la Alfama sube hasta el castillo de San Jorge y por la noche resuena con fado, la cuadrícula ordenada de la Baixa baja hasta la amplia Praça do Comércio junto al río, y el Bairro Alto y el Chiado mezclan librerías y cafés de día con bares de noche. Miradores como Santa Luzia y Senhora do Monte enmarcan tejados rojos y aguas brillantes.

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