Departing from your hotel in Porto, we set our sights on the first stop of the day - the medieval town of Óbidos. This gem of history, founded by the Celts and once cherished by Portuguese queens, is a tapestry of ancient walls and cobbled streets. Its well-preserved castle, now a luxurious hotel, offers sweeping views of the town and its bucolic surroundings. Meander through narrow alleys adorned with bougainvillea, explore Gothic churches, and savor the local cherry liqueur, Ginja. 
In July, the town bursts to life during the Medieval Market, beckoning visitors to revel in the colorful costumes and vibrant festivities.

After delighting in the charms of Óbidos, our journey continues to Portugal's dynamic capital, Lisbon. Upon arrival, you'll have ample free time to explore the city's main attractions and savor a delightful lunch. Founded by the Phoenicians and embellished under Roman rule, Lisbon seamlessly blends ancient heritage with contemporary allure. Lose yourself in the historic Alfama district's maze of cobblestone streets, behold iconic landmarks such as the Belém Tower, Padrão dos Descobrimentos and the Jerónimos Monastery.
