A completely preserved city wall with battlements. Only the bus tourists make the whole thing a bit annoying. Impressive in any case.

For us, Obidos is the most beautiful town in Portugal. Unfortunately, it is now also very touristy, but still very authentic.
Here you can walk all around the city wall, provided you have a head for heights.

Pretty little town with a surrounding city wall. You shouldn't be afraid of heights and sturdy shoes are recommended if you want to walk around the city on the city wall. People still live in the city, it wasn't crowded, but there are still enough souvenir shops and restaurants.
Highly recommended for a trip.
Parking and city/city wall free of …

A walk on the well-preserved wall, with a floor about 1.20 m wide, gave us more impressions of the town. This path is not for …

January 1, 2025,Raus aus Lissabon: Tag 4 - Obidos

Time seems to have stood still here and the maze of cobbled streets, whitewashed houses and flower-filled corners surrounded by the 12th century Obidos fortress and the Moorish city walls usually attract crowds of tourists. On the first day of the year, however, we …
