What you need to know
- A camp just for kids, the Medieval dos Petizes, with hands-on workshops in old crafts, so it's more than watching shows
- Costumes fit right in: many visitors dress the part, and costume rental is on site
- Bring cash, since the ATMs by the town gates get long lines on busy days
About
Every summer the walled town of Óbidos becomes a medieval village. Knights joust on horseback, falconers fly birds of prey, parades wind through the cobbled lanes, and market stalls and taverns fill the streets inside the walls. Kids get their own camp, the Medieval dos Petizes, with hands-on workshops in old crafts. Plenty of visitors come in costume. Best for kids who love castles and knights; the lanes get crowded.
Where it is
Vila de Óbidos
Castelo de Óbidos, 2510-086 Óbidos, Portugal
