Overview

Explore the most charming medieval town of Óbidos with an experienced and knowledgeable guide which will take you through the history and tales, the streets and alleys, the castle and the churches, the fine art, and (last but not least) the sweet and authentic tastes of this ancient Portuguese land: the famous Ginjinha de Óbidos- on a chocolate cup! Don’t miss out on the trendy bookstore Ler Devagar located on a former royal chapel, the 1300-year-old Muslim castle, the old Moorish and Jewish quarters, the superb “pietá” of renaissance master Nicolau de Chanterene and the works of the celebrated XVII century painter Josefa de Óbidos, the first Portuguese female artist to get to the Louvre. Learn about how the queens of Portugal had a major role in the history of this "Town of the Queens". Among them, is celebrated Queen Leonor de Avis, famous for creating the oldest surviving hospital and relief network in the world: “Holy House of Mercy”. She was called the “Most Perfect Queen”.

Lovely afternoon tour of Obidos

Maria took us on an in depth tour of this very interesting town. We enjoyed our tour thoroughly. Before the tour, we had a chance to walk almost all the way around the town on the medieval walls. We’d highly recommend doing that as well.

great tour with a great local guide!

Ivo was a great local guide, very attentive to our small tour group. It downpoured for a few minutes as the tour started and Ivo graciously offered a refund to anyone who didn't want to brave the weather. We all continued and were rewarded with a tour of Obidos past and present. Highly recommended!

Excellent tour with the best guide

The tour was very interesting and fun we saw the city colourful streets, cool castle and also the city wall. Our guide JP was amazing, he was very knowledgable and funny. He gave us a historical overview on the city and took the time to answer all of our questions.
