At just 8km from the centre of Óbidos, Villa Vau is in just the right place for you to experience this popular medieval town. Also easily accessible are Caldas da Raínha with its romantic park and bustling market square, and the considerable delights of rugged Peniche, Europe’s most westerly town. An excursion to Lisbon is also very doable – at around one hour’s bus ride from Óbidos, the capital boasts first-class attractions and an irresistible culture that you shouldn’t miss experiencing first-hand.Portugal’s Silver Coast, east of Lisbon, has no shortage of notable sights. One of the most popular in the region is medieval Óbidos, a place with all the hallmarks of a tourist favourite – cobbled streets, a landmark castle and some stunning views as you walk along the walls of the Old Town.
Also look out for the Porta da Vila – an elaborate double gateway which leads you to the main shopping street, Rua Direita. Between the entrance and exit is an elaborate central area with some intricate art and architecture it’s worth stopping to admire.North of Óbidos, the spa town of Caldas da Raínha is also worth a potter around – the church of Igreja de Nossa Senhora de Pópulo and the City Hall are just a couple of its notable buildings. The town’s park, named after former monarch King Carlos I, is another pleasing discovery. Constructed in the late 19th century to complement the thermal hospital which stands alongside it, this is the ideal place for boat trips on the lake, picnics or walks in the woods.
The attractive coastal town of Foz do Arelho offers some of the area’s best beaches, while Peniche can lay claim to being mainland Europe’s most westerly town. Its exposed position on the Atlantic makes it a haven for surfers, and there’s quite a history to discover at the town’s fortress and the Municipal Museum which is now located there. A stunning, UNESCO-listed nature reserve on nearby Berlengas island, is also well worth visiting.
