Obidos Village

Óbidos is a beautiful small medieval town, still surrounded by the old city walls. It is famous for its very well preserved atmosphere of a traditional Portuguese town, where the whitewashed houses are very carefully decorated with lovely colored flowerbeds. This village used to be a gift from our kings to their queens across the centuries! Walking in the town center and climbing up to the ramparts you’ll enjoy incredible views. Before leaving don’t forget to try the famous cherry liqueur in a chocolate cup, the Ginjinha!

Church of Saint Mary

(Pass by)

While walking around the narrow streets of Óbidos you will understand why is this town considered by many one of the most beautiful villages of Portugal. In the town square you will find the impressive church of Santa Maria with an astonishing collection of glazed tiles and paintings.

Castelo de Óbidos

Óbidos hasn't changed much in the past centuries. In fact the medieval castle walls still surround the entire town for around 1 mile. In the 13th century the King gave it to the Queen as a wedding present and since then the town has been filled with treasures inside: churches, palaces, new castle walls that still today remind us of the presence of the royalty in Óbidos.

Carolina P

This was a very expensive private tour of a very small city. The tour was only 4 hours including the hour long ride from Lisbon each way, therefore, you would imagine that the tour guide would be prepared. ABSOLUTELY NOT! 1) Obidos’ castle walls had been under maintenance for over 2 weeks (prior to having booked the tour) and it was never disclosed to us that we wouldn’t be able to enter certain areas. 2) The tour guide did not know much about the city and incorrectly described one monument as being another. She often used excuses like “sorry I’m tired”, “I’ve been traveling” or “I haven’t been to Obidos in a very long time” as an excuse for her lack of knowledge. We travelled very far and paid a lot to have to hear those excuses. I recommend driving to Obidos and doing it on your own instead. Very disappointed in Viator for including this tour on their website. *our other viator tour today was actually cancelled because the guide did not show up to Sintra! Will not likely be booking with Viator again as we have had two bad experiences back to back*
