Óbidos: Spend a day like a Queen!
How to spend a day in Óbidos
There are plenty of day trip tour options here, however I think this can easily be done as a self-guided trip, and if you can, spend the night and appreciate the quiet of the mornings and evenings here - I highly recommend it! Stay in this incredibly well preserved home right outside the castle walls:
Alternatively, you can easily take the 1 hour 30 minute bus from Lisbon, making it an excellent day trip option!
Morning
Stop in for a light breakfast at Capinha d’Obidos, but make sure to get there early to beat the lines!
Start your day off by climbing onto the castle walls! There are many entrances, but just head to the large staircases near one of the entryways of the fortress.
Stop into one of the many ceramics shops near the entrance and maybe buy a few while you’re there!
Afternoon
Stop for lunch!
LUNCH OPTIONS:
After lunch, continue walking through the narrow streets and explore some more!
And visit some of the shops along the main road that goes through the centre of the town (Rua Direita).
And you can’t leave Óbidos without trying ginjinha and other local liqueurs!
Once you feel like you’ve explored the city enough, feel free to head back to Lisbon, or wherever your next destination in Portugal might be!
