Obidos, Nazare and Batalha Monastery Tour from Lisbon

Lisbon hotel pick up

Your guide will meet you at your hotel in Lisbon, where you will be picked up for your 3 Villages tour. On the way to Óbidos (1:15hr north), enjoy the beautiful mountainous landscape.

Walking Tour at Óbidos

Your tour begins at Óbidos, with its whitewashed houses and craft shops, described by Condé Nast Traveler as a "medieval town that looks like it was lifted from the pages of a fairy tale".

Upon arrival, your tour guide takes you to the top attractions on a walking tour to explore the medieval streets of the Old Town. Taste the famous "ginjinha" of Obidos, a cherry-liqueur served in a chocolate cup. And if you feel brave, you can climb the 1100s castel walls.

Nazaré: Hilltop vistas and fresh seafood lunch

Great ocean views await at the Nazare cliff! And, if it's winter (Nov-Feb), fingers crossed for a chance to see the giant waves. You'll have free time to enjoy lunch on your own, explore the picturesque fishing town and enjoy the coastline.

Monastery of Batalha: Private guided tour inside

Enjoy a private guided tour inside the Batalha Monastery (ticket included), listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, and one of the most visited monuments in Portugal. Discover its importance for the consolidation of the Portuguese nation. And enjoy the most significant Portuguese Gothic building and cradle of Manueline architecture.

Lisbon hotel drop off

Your tour to Obidos, Nazare and Batalha ends with a return (1:50hr trip) to your Lisbon hotel.

More about Óbidos
3 Villages Private Tour

Óbidos is within castle walls

Not all built at the same time or by the order of one king. Started with a small watch tower and then a castle and its primitive walls. Access is through 4 gates and 2 doors. It has two keep towers, the last defensive resort and a place of command of troops.

Óbidos is known as the Queens' Town

The relation of the town with the queens is ancestral. The lands were donated to all Queens of Portugal from 1210 to 1834. It has always been one of the most fascinating towns in Portugal due to the care of all of them.

Obidos is also famous for its bookstores

14, to be more precise. One of them in a church. The town administration developed a literature programme that included an international literary festival, Folio. In 2015, Óbidos was recognized by UNESCO as Village of Literature.
