Things to do in Caldas da Rainha

Obidos, north of Lisbon, was once ruled by the Moors and ancient Rome, leaving behind many historical buildings. In the 12th century, the king at the time gave it to the queen because he loved it. After that, Obidos became a town inherited by successive queens. The Santa Maria Church in the town is the holy place where the king and queen got married. The cobblestone road spirals up and leads us to the city gate. The beautiful white-bottomed blue-flowered painted tiles are very eye-catching. Climb up the walls around the castle and you can see far away. The main street is full of souvenir shops, restaurants, and stalls selling Ginja. This brandy produced in Obidos is cherry wine served in chocolate cups. It costs 1 euro a cup. It has a strong fruity flavor and is mellow and delicious. Obidos is very popular with tourists because of its beautiful scenery.

Obidos, a charming town, is located about 80 kilometers north of Lisbon, Portugal. It is built on the mountain and has beautiful scenery. Obidos was a gift from King Alfonso V of Portugal to his bride, so it is also a very famous "wedding city". The ancient city wall of Obidos is well preserved and very distinctive.

Beautiful green park with facilities for little and big kids while adults have coffee. There is a lake where you can rent a boat and tennis courts.

Definitely worth the visit. It is beautiful. Try to get there later in the afternoon so the clouds will clear and you get to see far.
