Description

The medieval Óbidos village is one of the prettiest and most well conserved castle villages of Portugal. Just a bit less than 80 km from capital Lisbon, this city had a huge strategic importance.

Inside the walls you can find several examples of the religious and civil architecture like the main church of Santa Maria, the St Peter church and the aqueduct.

The village of Óbidos is also known for its Ginjinha, which should be drank from a chocolate cup!

We will also visit the Buddha Éden Garden, a beautiful garden intended as “a place for reconciliation”, 35+ hectares of natural fields, lakes, manicured gardens, contemporary sculpture and Buddhist statuary. It's the biggest oriental garden in Europe!

A unique place of peace and serenity that will surprise you, with six tons of marble Buddhas and figures installed throughout the garden, a cobalt blue replication of the Terracotta Army from China and the African Sculpture Art Garden that is dedicated to the Shona people of Zimbabwe, who have carved stone by hand into works of art for over a thousand years.
