Itinerary and highlights

Step back in time as you explore the legendary medieval village of Óbidos. Strategically positioned since Roman times, this historic stronghold was conquered from the Moors in the 12th century by Portugal's first king. Today, it stands as one of Europe's most beautifully preserved walled towns. Encircled by its imposing ancient stone ramparts, Óbidos is a charming maze of cobblestone streets, whitewashed houses adorned with vibrant flowers, and medieval architecture. Your private guide will share the captivating stories of this 'Town of Queens' while you walk along the historic walls. Before leaving, you will enjoy a traditional tasting of Ginjinha, the famous local sour cherry liqueur served in a chocolate cup.

You begin our Nazaré experience at the world-famous Praia do Norte. This is the legendary beach where courageous surfers break world records on giant waves. Your private guide will explain how the deep underwater Nazaré Canyon acts as a natural amplifier, creating monster waves that attract thrill-seekers from all over the globe.

Next, you walk to the historic São Miguel Arcanjo Fort, the iconic lighthouse-topped fortress that stands directly over the cliffs. Inside, you will explore the fascinating interpretive center, learn about the unique science behind the big wave phenomenon, and admire the impressive gallery of original surfboards donated by the world's top extreme surfers.

You then visit 'O Sítio', the historic clifftop neighborhood with spectacular panoramic views. After taking in the sights, we head down to the traditional seaside village of Nazaré. This is the perfect spot for a relaxing lunch by the ocean, where you can enjoy fresh seafood, stroll along the golden sand beach, and experience the authentic maritime atmosphere before returning to Lisbon.
