Obidos is the best version of a classic Portuguese town. It was founded more than 800 years ago and had been thriving as a relaxing destination for all people. Visitors are welcome to explore the unique and authentic shops and eateries, traveling down the narrow cobblestone streets amongst the traditional white-washed Portuguese buildings. A medieval castle looms over the town that is available to explore. The town is close to pristine white-sand beaches with boat docks. Fishing is a prominent pastime and career in Óbidos, so the fish market is always full. Óbidos has many more attractions around the town and is only about a one-hour drive from Lisbon. Obidos
