Óbidos is a museum village, where you can travel back in time. You will be able to see a fortified village just as it was centuries ago, with all its history (since 308 B.C.) and beauty.
Óbidos was conquered by our first king, D. Afonso Henriques, on January 11th, 1148. Since then, Óbidos continues to be part of Portugal´s history.
Here we will visit the various highlights as:
Fortified village of Óbidos, Igreja de São Pedro, Rua Direita, Capela de São Martinho, Igreja da Misericórdia, Ermida de Nossa Senhora do Carmo, Santuário do Senhor Jesus da Pedra, Pelourinho e Telheiro.
A walk inside the village also allows us to taste the Ginjinha and other local goods and crafts.
Afterwards we will head to the coast and visit Peniche, a coastal fishing city with a vast history.
Each July Óbidos castle hosts a traditional 'Medieval Market'.
For two weeks the castle and the surrounding town recreate the spirit of medieval Europe.
Flowing banners and heraldic flags set the mood together with hundreds of entertainers and stall holders dressed as merchants, jugglers, jesters, wandering minstrels, soldiers and more. Visitors can shop at the traditional handcrafts fair or watch medieval shows, horse displays and a costumed parade that winds its way through the streets. There are also displays of jousting knights and armed combat.
