A very nice castle with an amazing view over the city, and loved the activities happening inside the castle - some kind of medieval market!

We were going to visit Sintra but our hotel didn't work out as planned so we stayed at Obidos instead. The Castle is stunning and so well preserved. Even if you don't stay at the Castle Hotel, you are still able to wander around the whole place. The views from the castle walls are beautiful and you can order drinks from the bar to sit and have at tables positioned along the walls to take in the atmosphere and history The village within the walls is very pretty with lots of little restaurants and cafes. Very busy summer and winter with tourists though.

One of our favorite castles in Portugal. We are into history and castles, so this was an awesome visit. Truly incredible views from the hilltop out over the town and valley. Easy to access, with parking at the top of hill near the cemetery (when there are not event weekends at the castle). We loved talking with the curator, and seeing the 3D movie and 'cartoon' about the history and legends of the castle. Plenty of amazing photo opps of the castle itself and the views from the heights.

This fantastic castle has been restored with great taste and skill, and at under €2 to visit is amazing. The views are very special and it is well worth the visit after visiting many of the other historical sites in this area of Portugal. Wonderful discovery.
