Itinerary
The tour departs directly for medieval Óbidos. Expect a short, comfortable highway trip of around 60 minutes.
With Lisbon behind us, suddenly a rocky hill topped with a castle rises on the horizon - it's Óbidos. This picturesque town located in the west region of Portugal is renowned for its well-preserved medieval architecture and charming atmosphere, making it a popular destination for travelers.
One of the town's main attractions is its medieval castle, which dates back to the 12th century.
Also dating from the 12th century, you'll discover the church of Santa Maria, located in Óbidos' main square, with beautiful Manueline and Gothic architecture. Inside, you can admire the ornate decorations and historic works of art.
The town is surrounded by well-preserved medieval walls, offering excellent views of the surrounding countryside. You can take a pleasant stroll along the ramparts and admire the landscape. The town's narrow, cobbled streets are lined with charming whitewashed houses adorned with colorful flowers, creating a picturesque setting that is perfect for exploring on foot.
The town is also known for its craft stores selling local handicrafts, ceramics and souvenirs. Here it will be hard to resist grabbing a souvenir.
(TASTING) Of course... you won't want to miss the opportunity to taste Óbidos' famous liqueur, Ginjinha, made from sour cherries and served in chocolate cups. Just enjoy it. It's on us.
(OPTIONAL) Suddenly it's time to head back to Lisbon, but if you want to have lunch locally (nearby, by the Atlantic, you can taste some of the best fish and seafood in the world) or continue discovering the region until the end of the day, just talk to us. Know that from Óbidos we are very close to the sea and the beaches and we can show you hidden places completely beyond the pin on the map.
(OPTIONAL) If you feel like it, we can even take the SUV on a short off-road tour around the Óbidos Lagoon, the largest salt lake in Portugal, to show you the richness of the local biodiversity and the scenic beauty of the region. Don't be shy... be curious, we like it.
Back to the Lisbon area. The journey takes between 4 and 6 hours, depending on the optional visits you make and whether you decide to have lunch on site. As a matter of transparency, we would like to inform you that in addition to the added time of 2 hours given to the attractions listed in the itinerary, the remaining 2 to 4 hours announced refer to: 2 hours for the total travel time, and the other 2 hours for the total time of the moments listed as optional. By the way... we'd like you to know that by choosing us you're choosing a free tour for children under 11 and a 100% sustainable car trip, as all GHG emissions generated are fully offset.

About Lisbon
Lisbon spills down its hills to the Tagus estuary, a city of tiled façades, rattling yellow trams, viewpoint terraces and late, unhurried dinners.
The old quarters hold most of the charm. Alfama's tangle of lanes climbs to São Jorge Castle and echoes with fado in the evening, the Baixa's orderly grid runs down to the vast Praça do Comércio on the river, and Bairro Alto and Chiado mix bookshops and cafés by day with bars by night. Viewpoints such as Santa Luzia and Senhora do Monte frame red rooftops and shining water.
Top-ranked sights in Lisbon: Commerce Square (Praça do Comércio), Pena National Palace (Palacio Nacional da Pena), Alfama.
