​Vertigo

Imagem

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

Imagem

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

Imagem

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

Imagem

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

Imagem

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.
