Perched atop a hill, the Castle of Óbidos is a remarkably well-preserved medieval fortress that now houses a luxurious pousada hotel. Visitors can explore the castle's ramparts for sweeping views over the tiled rooftops of Óbidos and the lush plains beyond. The interior blends historic stone walls with modern comforts, and even if you're not a guest, you can wander the grounds and soak in the atmosphere.
