Vertigo
|
It's a challenge, to climb the narrow steps to the walls! If you dare, be careful - though large enough to a safe walk, the walkway along the walls is narrow and unprotected. I needed, once, to hold a french friend and help him in his way back, when he realized that he shouldn't face the risk. Believe me, that walking doesn't add much to the safe visit using the streets. |
Chocolate Fair
|
March is marked in Óbidos by a new event, that is becoming a strong attraction - a chocolate fair. All kind of qualities, artistic demonstrations, and cultural animation fill Óbidos with many thousand visitors. PS - Some people start complaining that paying 5 € just to... buy chocolate, is too much. Aren't we in crisis or not, after all? |
Parking
|
Parking in the city is possible, but moving inside it is complex and with many restrictions. The best option is to use the parks south of the city; the closest one costing 0.60 € per hour, the other one, a few meters away, free of charge. |
Shoes
|
Óbidos is small, but the narrow streets are steep, and the irregular cobblestone pavement is not the best walking solution. To save the pleasure of walking around, you'd better be prepared with comfortable walking shoes. |
Christmas Village
|
Óbidos means... animation, and in December, Christmas is a natural theme. Several amusements, mainly with kids in mind, give life to a lively city. The problem is that, sometimes, the mild Portuguese weather forgets to come, and the artificial snow doesn't look so artificial after all. |
