Óbidos Castle is one of the best-preserved and most iconic medieval castles in Portugal, located in the charming village of Óbidos, in the district of Leiria. Surrounded by imposing walls, this castle stands as a living testament to Portuguese history, military architecture, and culture, attracting visitors from all over the world.
Originally built by the Romans, the castle was expanded and reinforced during the period of Moorish occupation and later conquered by the first King of Portugal, Afonso Henriques, in the 12th century. During the reign of King Dinis (13th century), the castle and the village of Óbidos were offered as a dowry to Queen Isabel, becoming one of the “jewel towns” of the Portuguese crown.
From then on, the castle played a strategic role in defending the territory and protecting trade routes, as well as serving as the stage for various historical events.
Today, Óbidos Castle is one of the main tourist attractions in central Portugal. The village of Óbidos is famous for its International Chocolate Festival, Medieval Fair, and other cultural events held throughout the year.
Óbidos Castle is, without a doubt, a symbol of Portuguese historical and cultural heritage, combining architectural beauty with the unique atmosphere of an intact medieval village. A visit that transports travelers back in time to relive Portugal’s history and traditions.
The town of Nazaré is one of the most emblematic coastal locations in Portugal, situated in the Central Coast region, in the district of Leiria. Known for its historical ties to the sea, fishing traditions, and tourism, Nazaré is today a destination that combines heritage, breathtaking natural landscapes, and a strong cultural identity.
Nazaré has a centuries-old tradition linked to fishing and maritime life. For many centuries, fishing was the backbone of the local economy, and even today many residents keep this activity alive, expressed through cultural practices and festivals connected to the sea.
Nazaré Beach is famous for its giant waves, attracting surfers from all over the world, especially at Praia do Norte. The power of the Atlantic, combined with the uniqueness of the Nazaré Canyon (an underwater formation), creates waves that can exceed 30 meters in height, making Nazaré one of the world’s top destinations for big-wave surfing.
The history of Nazaré is deeply tied to the legend of Our Lady of Nazaré, which dates back to the 12th century. According to tradition, the image of the Virgin Mary was brought by a hermit and protected through miracles, giving rise to the famous Sanctuary of Our Lady of Nazaré, located at Sítio da Nazaré, atop the cliff with panoramic views of the sea.
The town of Nazaré is a place where the sea, faith, and tradition come together, offering visitors a unique experience of stunning landscapes, living history, and vibrant popular culture.
The Sanctuary of Fátima is one of the most important Catholic pilgrimage sites in the world. Every year, it is visited by millions of pilgrims and tourists from all parts of the globe.
The sanctuary was built on the site where, according to Catholic tradition, Our Lady appeared to three shepherd children — Lúcia, Francisco, and Jacinta — in 1917, in a series of apparitions officially recognized by the Catholic Church. In these apparitions, Mary called for prayer and penance for world peace and revealed the so-called Three Secrets of Fátima.
The Chapel of the Apparitions was built on the exact spot where the Virgin Mary appeared. It is the spiritual heart of the sanctuary and houses the original image of Our Lady of Fátima.
The Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary of Fátima, inaugurated in 1953, is the most recognizable building of the complex, with its 65-meter-high central tower. It contains the tombs of the three little shepherds: Francisco, Jacinta, and Lúcia.
The Basilica of the Most Holy Trinity is a modern, minimalist church completed in 2007. It is one of the largest Catholic churches in the world, with a capacity of over 9,000 people.
The Shepherds’ Way is a path that connects Aljustrel (the shepherds’ birthplace) to the sanctuary, with several stations representing moments of the apparitions.
Coimbra is one of the most emblematic cities in Portugal, famous for its historic university, academic traditions, and rich cultural heritage. Located in the center of the country, on the banks of the Mondego River, Coimbra was the capital of Portugal in the Middle Ages and remains a symbol of knowledge and culture to this day.
The University of Coimbra, founded in 1290, is one of the oldest universities in Europe and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2013. The university is the heart of the city and is well worth a visit.
We can also find the Roman ruins of Conímbriga.
Conímbriga was a Roman city built on an ancient Celtic settlement. During Roman rule, especially in the 1st and 2nd centuries AD, it became a flourishing urban center with luxurious houses, baths, a forum, and advanced sanitation systems.
Aveiro, often called the “Venice of Portugal,” is a charming city located on the country’s west coast, between Porto and Coimbra. Famous for its navigable canals, colorful moliceiros (traditional boats), Art Nouveau architecture, and ovos moles (a traditional sweet), Aveiro is an increasingly popular destination for those seeking a unique and relaxing experience in Portugal.
The canals of Aveiro cross the city center and are navigated by moliceiros, boats painted with humorous illustrations and popular phrases. Originally used to harvest moliço (aquatic plants), today they are used for sightseeing tours.
Aveiro is a true open-air museum of Art Nouveau, with façades richly decorated with tiles, wrought iron, and flowing shapes.
