Medieval Walls & Baroque Wonders: Óbidos & Mafra Discovery

Escape the ordinary Lisbon & Sintra tours and embark on a private journey through time!

Wander the enchanting, stone streets of the walled village of Óbidos. A living museum brimming with stories that stretch back to the 4th century B.C., conquered by Portugal´s first king, D. Afonso Henriques, on 1148. Since then, Óbidos continues to be part of Portugal’s history. Walking inside the village you will have to taste the Ginjinha and other traditional local goods and see their crafts.

Next, marvel at the grandeur of the Palácio Nacional de Mafra, the largest baroque palace of the 18th century. Built with the wealth of Brazilian gold, this architectural masterpiece combines a palace, convent, basilica, and one of Europe’s most important libraries, all under one roof. Stroll the palace’s legendary 232-meter corridor, admire its marble and limestone details, and imagine royal life in its 1,200 rooms, 29 inner courtyards, 4.700 doors and windows and 156 stairways…
