Obidos is renowned as one of the prettiest villages in Portugal and is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site. It features a hilltop location surrounded by medieval castle walls, providing impressive valley views. The original castle dates back over 800 years but was largely rebuilt after an earthquake in 1755.

2. Between Lisbon and Coimbra are a number of small towns and villages that definitely deserve a stop. Thousands of years of history, Some people say that Obidos is the prettiest village in Portugal and I'm inclined to agree with them. That, and the fact that it was named a world heritage site by UNESCO makes Obidos a definite must see on any tour of Portugal. The village sits on a hilltop and is surrounded by medieval castle walls that offer sweeping views of the surrounding valley. The original castle was built over 800 years ago but much of what is there today was rebuilt after a devastating earthquake in 1755.
