Destaques

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 desce das colinas até ao estuário do Tejo: fachadas de azulejo, elétricos amarelos, miradouros e jantares tardios sem pressa.

Os bairros antigos concentram a maior parte do encanto. O emaranhado de ruelas de Alfama sobe até ao Castelo de São Jorge e à noite ecoa de fado, a malha ordenada da Baixa desce até à vasta Praça do Comércio, junto ao rio, e o Bairro Alto e o Chiado misturam livrarias e cafés de dia com bares à noite. Miradouros como o de Santa Luzia e o da Senhora do Monte enquadram telhados vermelhos e águas cintilantes.

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