a private tour of

Óbidos, Mafra & Cascais

We started our tour by Óbidos, which is located inside a medieval castle just over 80 km from the center of Lisbon. It is currently inhabited by less than 100 people, but it is full of charming shops, cafes, restaurants serving typical food and even a spectacular bookstore inside an old church, which preserves the medieval appearance of its 12th century construction.

Our next destination is Palace and Convent of Mafra, which houses one of the most beautiful libraries in the world. Grand and imposing, the Great Palace can be visited, as well as its church. Built in the early 18th century, the local palace retains many of its original features, with richly decorated halls.

We then continue until Cascais, where we stopped to enjoy its beautiful beaches, the marina and the historic center with its typical alleys full of cafes and restaurants. Then, on our way back to Lisbon, we entered the beautiful Avenida Marginal, always next to the sea and the Tagus River.

Map

This tour is in the greater Lisbon area and goes to Óbidos, which is about 80km from the capital. It is made with a mix of national roads and motorways.

This tour is ideal for those who like ancient villages, seaside landscapes and palaces. Óbidos is a picturesque destination with centuries of history and both Mafra and Sintra have beautiful palaces to admire. 

If you like a tour that offers many charming monuments and villages, a beautiful palace full of history and a famous beach destination then this tour is for you. 

The West zone, especially Óbidos, has a micro climate which is why we recommend a jacket. 

Average. This tour doesn't have many ups and downs, but the ground can be uneven so we recommend wearing comfortable shoes. We make several stops during the tour and many cafes so we can rest if we need to.
