Obidos Village
In the heart of Portugal lies the charming, fairytale village of Obidos. With its well-preserved medieval walls, cobbled streets and rich history, this picturesque village offers travellers a journey back in time.

The town's narrow streets are lined with craft shops, boutiques and cafes where you can sample the local delicacy ginjinha, a sweet cherry liqueur. Soak up the city by passing through Porta da Vila and take in a cityscape that could be a film set. Stroll down Rua Direita to see houses with whitewashed walls with blue or yellow borders and bougainvillea creeping up the sides. Obidos is famous for its lively cultural events. The Medieval Festival, held in July, takes visitors back to the Middle Ages with costumed performers, jousting and a festive atmosphere. The International Chocolate Festival is a treat for chocolate lovers, with sculptures and tastings for all the senses.
Tomar
The origins of the Monastery of Christ date back to the 12th century, when King Afonso Henriques gave the territory of Tomar to the Knights Templar, who founded a monastery here, famous for its round church. Today the monastery is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a popular tourist destination. The church is an icon of Gothic, Manueline and Renaissance architecture. Perched on a hill above the town, it offers an enchanting panoramic view. Tomar is blessed with a tranquil setting along the Nabão River. The beautiful Mouchão Park is the perfect place for a peaceful stroll or a picnic. Wander around the town and you will find picturesque squares, artisan shops and cosy cafés. The annual Festa dos Tabuleiros adds to the festive atmosphere of the town, a colourful celebration of the high headdresses worn by the locals.
