Høydepunkter

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 renner ned åsene mot Tejos munning, en by med fliseklede fasader, rasslende gule trikker, utsiktspunkter og sene, rolige middager.

De gamle bydelene rommer det meste av sjarmen. Alfamas floke av smug klatrer opp mot Castelo de São Jorge og ekkoer av fado om kvelden, Baixas ryddige rutenett løper ned til det enorme Praça do Comércio ved elven, og Bairro Alto og Chiado blander bokhandler og kaféer om dagen med barer om natten. Utsiktspunkter som Santa Luzia og Senhora do Monte rammer inn røde tak og skinnende vann.

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