The local experience
Medieval walls that encircle the entire village, with about 1.5 km of perimeter, towers and gates, and the castle at the highest point, now converted into a pousada. Much of the wall walk can be done on foot.
Parish church of Óbidos, in the village's central square, with walls covered in 17th-century azulejos and paintings by Josefa de Óbidos. It was the setting for the wedding of King D. Afonso V in 1441.
The largest coastal lagoon in Portugal, about 10 km from the village, connected to the sea at the Foz do Arelho. It has calm waters suitable for swimming, sailing sports and birdwatching.
