During this tour, you will discover the magic of Portuguese castles from the medieval to the romanticism period. Sintra is the starting point of this tour. A UNESCO World Heritage site, the capital of romanticism, just 16 miles from Lisbon, Sintra has housed the royal family’s summer palaces since the 14th century. You will have the opportunity to visit one of these royal Palaces of Sintra. If you have a sweet tooth you must taste the traditional pastries.
One hundred km north of Sintra, our tour will reach Obidos, a charming medieval village within defense walls. Here you can taste the typical liqueur of the region, The “Ginja”, served in a chocolate cup. Obidos is the best example of medieval cities in Portugal. As we enter its walls, we go back in time, as we walk the ancient stone alleys, facing houses with their white-painted secular facades, the ever-active trade and the countless churches built over the centuries.

Obidos Village, Obidos, Portugal The town of Obidos is an ancient Roman city that continued flourishing even after the fall of the empire due to the huge commercial activity through the sea port. During the Middle Ages, a wall was built around it after being conquered by the first king of Portugal, Afonso I. Obidos is the best example of a medieval village in Portugal. We go back in time as we walk through this walled town, with its narrow cobblestone alleys, houses with secular facades painted in white, a lively shopping area, and a number of churches that were built throughout the centuries. We get the sensation of the battles fought here for every square foot of land. We won’t leave without tasting the famous “Ginga de Obidos”, a local sweet liquor served on a small chocolate cup. 120 minutes

Our guide, Vasco was a knowledgeable and personable young man.
The scenery and sites are magnificent. Looking at the history around this beautiful part of the world was a day to remember.
We would passionately recommend this tour to anyone whom may consider it. Having a personal guide made the experience so much more enjoyable.

This is a nice day trip from Lisbon. Obidos very pretty but crowded with tourists so try to go really early before the crowds come or late in the day. Sintra lovely town but also crowded. Don’t skip the National Palace in town as no lines and impressive tile work. Pena Palace worth the very long steep climb up but again go early or late tour as the lines are long and crowds big.
