What you need to know
- Inside a walled medieval town, so the day doubles as a castle visit with cobbled lanes to explore

- Live sculpting and chef demos, worth timing your visit around if your kid likes to see how things are made
About
Portugal's first chocolate festival, running since 2002, fills the walled medieval town of Óbidos with chocolate. Kids walk past giant chocolate sculptures, watch sculptors and pastry chefs work live, and get their hands messy in chocolate workshops. There is a chocolate art museum and a market of chocolatiers' stalls. Each edition has a theme. It suits kids who like to make things and taste as they go.
Where it is
Vila de Óbidos
Castelo de Óbidos, 2510-001 Óbidos
