Overview: car trip from Porto to Obidos
Obidos is often considered a day trip from Lisbon, the most visited city in Portugal. Despite its small size, Obidos is definitely worth more than just a quick stopover, especially if you are traveling from Porto. The distance from Porto to Obidos is approximately 148 miles (239 km), and you can travel this route in around 2 hours and 20 minutes. However, you can extend your trip by exploring other cities and landmarks along the way.
The best way to do this is by securing a private car service like Daytrip. Begin your journey with a stop in Aveiro, known as Portugalâs âLittle Veniceâ. Next, explore the charming university town of Coimbra and soak in medieval history at the well-preserved Castle of Montemor o Velho. Wrap up your journey by visiting the UNESCO-listed Monastery of Batalha or the Monastery of Alcobaca, and donât miss the impressive waves along the coast of Nazare.
About Obidos
Just 50 miles (80 km) west of Portugalâs capital city lies the enchanting town of Obidos, perched on a hill. It is known for its highly well-preserved medieval architecture, charming cobblestoned streets, and the impressive 12th-century castle, where you'll find the best panoramic views of the city.
As you admire the city from above, you will see the typical white-washed houses with yellow and blue accents, the iconic terracotta roof tiles, and the walls that extend from the castle and surround the entire city.
Although it was once common to build walls around cities, many have lost their fortifications over the centuries. However, Obidos has managed to preserve its walls that now tell stories from the cityâs past which makes it feel like you are walking through a museum.
Like many other parts of the Iberian Peninsula, Obidos was under Moorish rule until 1148, when Portugalâs first king, Afonso I, captured the town during the Christian Reconquista. In 1210, King Afonso II gifted Obidos to his wife, Queen Urraca. From the 12th to 14th century, Obidosâ symbol, the castle, was built.
Today, Obidos is known for its well-preserved medieval charm, but the city went through a period of neglect from the 19th to the mid-20th century. During these years, Portugal was undergoing economic and political changes, and Obidos was no longer used as a strategic site. It was not until the second half of the 20th century that the restoration works began and the city started attracting visitors ready to get transported back to medieval times.
From Porto to Obidos: travel tips
Even with the brief distance from Porto to Obidos, there are a couple of things to consider before you begin your journey:
Spend the night in Obidos
Obidos is more than just a quick stop, so plan an overnight stay. Spending the night allows you to beat the crowds at the main attractions like the castle and make the most of your visit by exploring the key landmarks first thing in the morning.
Parking is limited
Given that Obidos is a small town and a popular day trip destination, finding a parking place can be challenging. To avoid that, consider using alternative transportation options, such as Daytripâs private car service.
Bring comfortable footwear
It is not just the lack of parking space that makes driving to Obidos less ideal. The town is perched on a hill, so expect many steep climbs. Make sure to wear comfortable footwear, although you should already be prepared after visiting Porto.
How to get from Porto to Obidos
Although Obidos is well-connected to Lisbon, it is a bit of a hassle to travel from Porto to Obidos, unless you opt for a straightforward mode of transportation. Here are the options you can choose from:
From Porto to Obidos by bus
There are no direct buses from Porto to Obidos. You first have to travel to Lisbon and then take a bus that goes from Lisbon to Caldas da Rainha with a stop in Obidos (so donât miss it!).
For the first part of your trip (Porto to Lisbon), you can take a bus operated by Rede Expressos that will get you to Lisbon in 3.5 hours. Tickets cost around $6 (âŹ5.45).
Once you reach Lisbon, take the Lisbon to Caldas da Rainha bus operated by Rodotejo. You can check the timetable online, however, bear in mind that you can only buy the tickets directly from the bus driver. It takes around 1 hour to reach Obidos.
From Porto to Obidos by rental car
If you would rather avoid taking multiple buses to Obidos, renting a car is a more convenient option. There are several car rental companies available, so it is a good idea to compare them to find the best deal. Just be aware that the route includes tolls.
From Porto to Obidos by private car service
Daytripâs private car service is the best choice for those who want to avoid the hassle of buses and prioritize their comfort. Your driver will gladly pick you up from your accommodation in Porto, handle your luggage, and take you on a comfortable, nearly 2.5-hour drive to Obidos. Our cars are clean and well-maintained, equipped with air conditioning for summer travel, and we provide bottled water for your convenience.

Whether it is the stunning canals of Aveiro, Coimbraâs historic university, or the impressive city of Alcobaca, you will find something that suits your interests.
Things to do when you get to Obidos
Sometimes the tiniest towns offer the most memorable experiences, and Obidos is a perfect example. After exploring on your way from Porto to Obidos, get lost in this townâs charming streets. If you need some ideas, here we have summarized our favorite things to do or visit:
Admire the medieval castle
One of the main reasons many visit Obidos is its impressive, well-preserved Castle of Obidos. Although you cannot explore the interior of the castle since it has been transformed into a luxury hotel, you can visit the garden and walk along the castle walls, which stretch approximately 5,134 feet (1,565 meters). Be aware that some sections of the walls lack protective barriers, so exploring them may not be suitable for families with small children.
Explore the literary heritage
Obidos is undoubtedly a paradise for literature lovers. It is quite fitting, as the town itself looks like it is straight out of a fairytale. In 2015, Obidos hosted its first International Literature Festival (known as FOLIO in Portuguese), and the town has since been recognized by UNESCO as a City of Literature
As you explore the castle walls that surround the city, you will encounter a surpriseâthe Santiago Bookstore. Obidos truly takes literature to the next level, with even a book-themed hotel available for accommodation. If youâre a book lover searching for a place to stay in Obidos, look no further!
Sample the famous cherry liquor
Although you can find cherry liquor, or _ginja _as the locals call it, in other parts of Portugal, sampling it in Obidos is a unique experienceâit is served in chocolate cups! While you can enjoy the drink without the chocolate cup, tasting it this way adds a special touch. Search for the street of Rua Direita where cups of _ginja _can be found for just over $1 (âŹ1)!
When is the best time to visit Obidos
If you want to experience one of Obidosâ iconic events, be sure to check the exact dates and book everything in advance. However, if you prefer to explore the townâs medieval charm without the added buzz, the best time to visit Obidos is from March to September.
During these months, there is a lower chance of rain, and the temperatures are pleasant. Make sure to check the dates of the events mentioned above to avoid any overlap with your visit. Since Obidos is a popular day trip destination from Lisbon, try to avoid visiting on weekends if you prefer to escape the crowds.
However, Obidos is a city that offers something in each season. Here are a few of the special events:
- Spring: the Chocolate Festival
- Summer: the Medieval Fair
- Fall: Literary Festival
- Winter: âChristmas Villageâ

Excellente option de transfert.
âJâai utilisĂ© ce service pour un transfert de Split, en Croatie, Ă Perast, au MontĂ©nĂ©gro. Mon expĂ©rience a Ă©tĂ© exceptionnelle. Mon chauffeur, Bojan, Ă©tait serviable, informatif et a veillĂ© Ă ce que mon voyage soit confortable et agrĂ©able. Je recommande vivement ce service.â
CâĂ©tait un voyage fantastique.
âNous avons Ă©tĂ© extrĂȘmement satisfaits de la qualitĂ© du service que nous avons reçu de Day Trip. Nous avons effectuĂ© deux trajets avec Day Trip : le 31 aoĂ»t dâAthĂšnes Ă Lefkada et le 7 septembre de Lefkada Ă AthĂšnes. Les deux trajets comprenaient des arrĂȘts sur des sites pittoresques en GrĂšce. Les deux chauffeurs Ă©taient excellents et accommodants. Toutefois, nous aimerions particuliĂšrement remercier Panos Peppas, qui a Ă©tĂ© notre chauffeur de Lefkada Ă AthĂšnes. Panos a Ă©tĂ© incroyablement gentil et agrĂ©able, et a offert un service client exceptionnel, qui comprenait la gestion de tous nos bagages, la fourniture dâeaux fraĂźches tout au long du voyage, de barres protĂ©inĂ©es, de documents imprimĂ©s sur le canal de Corinthe (lâun des arrĂȘts pittoresques), la recherche et la transmission des informations sur le terminal et la porte de notre vol de retour, ainsi que la remise dâune recette de tzatziki.â
La meilleure société de transport partout
âNous adorons vraiment cette entreprise et lâavons utilisĂ©e de nombreuses fois au fil des ans pour aller dâun point A Ă un point B sans les tracas de louer une voiture nous-mĂȘmes. Des chauffeurs excellents Ă chaque fois. Efficaces et professionnels. Cela vaut chaque centime, et nous recommandons sincĂšrement Day Trip Ă tout le monde. Ses 5 Ă©toiles sont amplement mĂ©ritĂ©es.â
Excellente expérience de voyage
âNous avons voyagĂ© de Nuremberg Ă Munich dans une belle Audi. Le chauffeur est venu nous chercher Ă notre hĂŽtel exactement Ă lâheure demandĂ©e. Il nous a conduits Ă Munich avec beaucoup dâavance pour notre prochaine visite. Le chauffeur a veillĂ© Ă ce que nous soyons Ă lâaise.â
Transport sûr et à prix raisonnable
âGonzalo de Daytrip Ă©tait notre chauffeur et il Ă©tait absolument incroyable. Il a tout fait pour nous retrouver car notre service mobile ne fonctionnait pas trĂšs bien. Il a attendu patiemment notre arrivĂ©e dans le hall afin de nous conduire du Tulum Dreams Resort Ă notre autre hĂŽtel Ă CancĂșn, Ă une heure et demie de route prĂšs de lâaĂ©roport, avant notre vol de retour. Il Ă©tait poli, respectueux et aimable. Il sâest assurĂ© que nous Ă©tions Ă lâaise pendant tout le trajet. Rapide et efficace. Je recommande cette entreprise, car trouver un trajet aller simple de Tulum Ă CancĂșn nâest ni facile ni bon marchĂ©, et cette entreprise offre un excellent service Ă un bon prix. Je les rĂ©utiliserai sans aucun doute lorsque je serai dans la rĂ©gion de CancĂșn/Tulum. Merci, DayTrip et Gonzalo.â
âMarianna est venue nous chercher pour nous conduire de HĂ©raklion Ă La CanĂ©e. Le temps Ă©tait terrible et, Ă cause de cela, Marianna est arrivĂ©e avec quelques minutes de retard. Elle mâa contactĂ© pour mâen informer. Marianna vit Ă La CanĂ©e et a rendu notre trajet trĂšs intĂ©ressant en nous parlant des choses locales Ă faire et Ă voir lĂ -bas. Marianna conduit prudemment, et nous nous sommes tous sentis Ă lâaise avec sa vitesse et sa conduite sous une pluie battante. Câest une personne charmante qui parle couramment anglais. Nous recommandons vivement Daytrip, et si vous ĂȘtes Ă HĂ©raklion ou Ă La CanĂ©e, assurez-vous de demander Marianna.â
Excellent chauffeur en Ăgypte
âJ'ai utilisĂ© le service pour aller de Louxor Ă Hurghada, en Ăgypte. Ahmed H Ă©tait notre chauffeur et il Ă©tait parfait. La voiture Ă©tait neuve, propre, il avait de l'eau et des collations pour nous, et il a pris en compte nos arrĂȘts. Excellent service de sa part, je le recommande.â
Excellent service de transfert privé
âC'Ă©tait notre premiĂšre fois avec Daytrip (d'Ăbidos Ă Porto avec des arrĂȘts Ă Coimbra et Aveiro) et l'expĂ©rience globale a Ă©tĂ© gĂ©niale. Nous avons rĂ©servĂ© notre voyage seulement deux jours Ă l'avance et avons Ă©tĂ© soulagĂ©s de recevoir la confirmation en une heure. Les informations sur le chauffeur Ă©taient claires et nous avons pu le contacter le jour de notre trajet. Notre chauffeur, Mauricio A., Ă©tait trĂšs amical et professionnel, parlant couramment l'anglais. Nous avons mĂȘme eu une mise Ă niveau de vĂ©hicule avec suffisamment d'espace pour nous deux et nos bagages volumineux. Un transfert porte-Ă -porte pratique et sans tracas avec possibilitĂ© d'arrĂȘts en route.â
âNous avons utilisĂ© Daytrip au Portugal, d'Obidos Ă Porto, puis de Porto Ă Lisbonne. Service excellent - de porte Ă porte. Mon Ă©pouse et moi avons toujours utilisĂ© le train ou le bus en Europe, mais cette option a vraiment rendu le voyage plus facile et plus pratique. Pouvoir dĂ©finir son propre horaire en vacances, câest inestimable.â
âNous avons utilisĂ© ce service entre Porto et Ăbidos au Portugal, et cela a Ă©tĂ© le bon choix. Service rapide de porte Ă porte. Excellent chauffeur.â
