Arco Da Memoria: A Gateway to History in Vidais

Getting There

• Walking

  Starting from the central park in Caldas da Rainha, head south toward Avenida 1º de Maio. Once you reach the avenue, turn left and walk straight until you see the Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Pópulo (Church of Our Lady of Pópulo) on your right. Continue walking along Avenida 1º de Maio until you reach the roundabout. At the roundabout, take the second exit onto Rua de José Malhoa. Continue straight until you come to a T-junction with Rua da Liberdade. Turn right here and follow Rua da Liberdade until you reach the main square, Praça da República. From the square, head north along Rua do Comércio, which will eventually turn into Rua da Estalagem. Follow this road, and after about 1.5 km, you should see signs directing you to Vidais. Continue following the signs, as you approach Vidais, and you will find Arco Da Memoria in the center of the town.

• Public Transport

  From Caldas da Rainha, head to the bus station, which is located near the Praça da República. Look for buses heading toward Vidais. Purchase a ticket from the kiosk or the driver if needed. The bus ride to Vidais should take approximately 15-20 minutes. Once you arrive in Vidais, exit the bus and head towards the town center. Arco Da Memoria should be a short walk from the bus stop, easily visible in the vicinity of the main square.
