Medieval Market of Óbidos — Local services in Óbidos

Mood Lodging @ 👑 Mercado Medieval 2022 🏰

The entire village is celebrating, with lots of music, vibrant colours, different smells and medieval outfits.

An historical event, where we can journey and experience the Middle Ages and where we have hundreds of incredible animation and entertainment, performance and theater groups.

And the celebration doesn't end there, the local associations provided delicious food, meat and fish dishes, sauces and seasonings, breads with chorizo or codfish, leaves the mouths watering to the attentive eyes of the people.

The glasses overflow with wine and beer for the celebration that promises to be epic and through whole the night.

Congratulations to Óbidos and to all those involved who provided a great journey and experience for those who visited our village.

Other than that, it was an unforgettable experience. Obidos is a...

If you’re anywhere near Óbidos in July (or even outside the festival dates, since the location is stunning year-round), you can’t miss the Medieval Festival. It’s one of the best-organised events I’ve ever attended — for a whole day, it feels like you’ve stepped out of the modern world and straight into the Middle Ages.

What can you expect? You can rent traditional costumes for €8 for the whole day, enjoy authentic Portuguese food in real taverns at very affordable prices, and watch incredible shows all day long — from duels to dances to horseback tournaments. There are plenty of stalls selling unique items and souvenirs, and I loved every moment of it!

One important thing to note: the full-day ticket costs €10, but there’s an additional fee if you want to access the...
