Obidos, Alcobaça, Nazare, Fatima and Batalha

Visits to five fascinating towns north of Lisbon are on the itinerary of this intriguing full-day guided excursion. You will explore the historic and cultural attractions of Obidos, Alcobaça, Nazare, Batalha and Fatima as well as enjoy a traditional Portuguese lunch.

The coach journey north to Obidos will take you through a scenic landscape dotted with windmills and orchards. This medieval walled town is famed for its well-preserved hilltop castle and delicious local cherry liqueur.

A short drive away is Alcobaça, where you’ll visit the glorious Gothic monastery that houses the tombs of Pedro and Ines, the tragic lovers who are considered Portugal’s own equivalent of Romeo and Juliet. We’ll have lunch a restaurant that specialises in fish dishes.

Dessert of a kind will be trip to Nazare, a charming fishing village with large beaches where you will have plenty of time to discover the fascinating legends and traditions of this jewel of Portugal’s Atlantic coast.

From the fresh air of the seaside, head back inland to Batalha a small village with a big attraction: the Dominican Monastery, a late Gothic architectural masterpiece declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco.
