    We read beforehand that you had to stay in the castle hotel in order to enter. Glad we did, because it was really awesome. The town of obidos and the larger surrounding wall walk are great too, but you dont want to miss the castle itself.

    Don't forget to look up while walking through the front gate to see the beautiful tiles. There were musicians playing too.

    So peaceful and complete contrast to the village. Great paths to walk along and kite surfers to watch.

    The inside of this church is quite beautiful. You can walk in for free and it just takes a few minutes.

    Wonderful Medieval market with local cuisine. Must try queijadas (Portuguese tarts with different variations of flavours: carrot/Almond/milk)
    Amazing food and entertainment.
    Great event for kids and grown-ups.

    This is the main street that runs from the main gate past the town square to the castle at the north end of the village. Along the way there are store front stands selling "Licor de Ginja d'Obidos" which is Obidos' cherry liqueur served in an edible chocolate cup. When we visited, the stands closer to the main gate were selling each for €1.50 and the place was mobbed. Further down the road, the price dropped to €1.00 with far fewer people. There are two WC's on this road. When we visited, the one closer to the main gate was closed. So the WC closer to the town square has a long line for the ladies. As we strolled down the road, the whitewashed houses with bright blue and/or yellow trims make for a very photogenic image of a medieval village.

    It looks a little stark on the outside, but inside it is decorated and typically Portuguese. Not always open. Check for times. It's on a pretty square with lots of people around.

    Just outside the town walls you'll find this very well preserved aqueduct, which makes for some dramatic and memorable photos.

    This church no longer functions as one, but has been redesigned as a very impressive book store that's well worth a visit - if not for the books (the vast majority of which are of course in Portuguese) then for the remodelling and the unique combination of bookstore and church!

    There is not much to see in Obidos itself. The main attractions are the Obidos Village and the castle with the town wall which completely encloses the village. Even the bus from Lisbon stops near the main gate of Obidos Village. Inside Obidos Village, most whitewashed houses with bright blue and/or yellow trims make for a very photogenic image of a medieval village. The castle itself has been turned into an expensive hotel, but the town walls that extend from the castle encompass the entire village and are freely accessible. Whether on the town walls or at ground level, you can always find a spot with impressive views of the castle and the town walls with the Obidos Village.
