More about Óbidos
3 Villages Private Tour

Óbidos is within castle walls

Not all built at the same time or by the order of one king. Started with a small watch tower and then a castle and its primitive walls. Access is through 4 gates and 2 doors. It has two keep towers, the last defensive resort and a place of command of troops.

Óbidos is known as the Queens' Town

The relation of the town with the queens is ancestral. The lands were donated to all Queens of Portugal from 1210 to 1834. It has always been one of the most fascinating towns in Portugal due to the care of all of them.

Obidos is also famous for its bookstores

14, to be more precise. One of them in a church. The town administration developed a literature programme that included an international literary festival, Folio. In 2015, Óbidos was recognized by UNESCO as Village of Literature.
