Know more about your day trip
Obidos is a perfectly preserved medieval walled town with charming narrow streets, whitewashed houses adorned with colorful flowers, and a 12th-century castle. You'll have 2.5 hours to explore its cobblestone alleys, walk the ancient walls for panoramic views, browse local handicraft shops, and sample the famous Ginjinha liqueur served in chocolate cups.
You'll have approximately 90 minutes to explore the magnificent Batalha Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This is sufficient time to admire the intricate Manueline architecture, visit the Royal Cloisters, see the Founder's Chapel with royal tombs, and marvel at the Unfinished Chapels with their open-sky design and stunning stonework.
The drive from Sintra to Obidos takes approximately 75 minutes, while the journey from Obidos to Batalha is about 45 minutes. Your private driver will take the most scenic and efficient routes between destinations, allowing you to relax and enjoy the Portuguese countryside views during these comfortable transfers.
Yes, there's an entrance fee for Batalha Monastery (approximately €6 for adults, with discounts for seniors and students). This fee is not included in your day trip price and should be paid directly at the site. The monastery is well worth the admission cost as it represents one of Portugal's most impressive Gothic and Manueline architectural achievements.
The most Instagram-worthy spots include Obidos' medieval walls with views of terracotta rooftops, the colorful flower-lined streets, Batalha Monastery's ornate exterior facade, the stunning Royal Cloisters with intricate stone lace work, and the dramatic open-sky Unfinished Chapels. The golden hour light just before sunset makes these locations particularly photogenic.
Yes, Obidos offers excellent dining options during your 2.5-hour visit. You can enjoy traditional Portuguese cuisine at small taverns or try local specialties like the Ginja liqueur. Your driver can recommend authentic restaurants based on your preferences, though dining time will need to fit within your scheduled exploration of the medieval town.
Batalha Monastery earned UNESCO status for its exceptional Gothic and Manueline architecture and historical significance. Built to commemorate Portugal's victory at the 1385 Battle of Aljubarrota, it represents the height of Portuguese Late Gothic style with unique national Manueline elements. Its Royal Cloisters and Unfinished Chapels showcase extraordinary craftsmanship in stone.
Obidos is famous for handcrafted souvenirs including ceramic pieces, embroidered textiles, and artisanal chocolates. The signature souvenir is Ginjinha (cherry liqueur) in chocolate cups. You'll find shops selling local wines, traditional Portuguese tiles (azulejos), handmade soaps, and unique crafts. The medieval-themed items reflect the town's historical character and make perfect mementos of your visit.
