We start off with one of our favourite towns in Portugal: Óbidos. Cobblestone streets, a medieval castle, and stone walls that you can walk along? This town has it all! Óbidos is also an easy day trip from Lisbon even without a car.

Next up, Batalha! Batalha Monastery is the main highlight of this town. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Batalha Monastery is the most important Portuguese gothic building and quite a prominent one in the Iberian Peninsula and Europe.

After our time in Óbidos and Batalha, we take you to our third destination: Tomar. Tomar was the religious home of the Knights Templar and currently houses the Convento de Cristo (Convent of Christ) - an expansive religious complex, regarded as one of Portugal’s finest national monuments and chief works of the Portuguese Renaissance.

After Tomar, we visited the beautiful town of Coimbra. Coimbra is Portugal's former capital, is home to a preserved medieval old town, and the historic University of Coimbra. Considered a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the University of Coimbra is actually the oldest university in all of Portugal and the seventh oldest university in the world.

Lastly, we visited the beautiful town of Monsanto. Monsanto is perched on top of a hill and is interlaced with massive boulders, many of which have been excavated or combined into some of the houses in the town. The panoramic views from atop Monsanto Castle is definitely a must! Monsanto is also one of twelve official Historical Villages of Portugal!
