Óbidos is a medieval town in Portugal close to the Atlantic coast and is one of the most well preserved and picturesque in Portugal. In the town is a well preserved castle with the walls which surround a maze of small streets. You can walk around the whole town on the top of the walls giving you a wonderful perspective of this unique town. There are numerous churches and along the small streets you can find numerous small shops, cafes and restaurants.
The local cuisine features bouillabaisse made with fish from the Óbidos Lagoon, which will taste even better if accompanied by the wines of the region of Oeste. Another attraction is the famous Ginjinha de Óbidos (sour cherry brandy), which can be enjoyed in various places, preferably drunk from a small chocolate cup.
