Amazing town with red roofs: where to go in Portugal
The small but incredibly charming town of Obidos, located in central Portugal, will enchant you with its medieval atmosphere and picturesque streets. It is an ideal place for those who want to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city and immerse themselves in history.
Surrounded by ancient walls, Obidos has retained its medieval charm. Narrow cobblestone streets, snow-white houses with red roofs, ancient churches – all this creates a unique atmosphere. The main street of the city, Rua Direita, invites you to visit numerous shops, restaurants and cafes, writes Express.
However, despite its popularity, Obidos can become a victim of its own success, especially in summer. Crowds of tourists can significantly spoil the experience of visiting this charming town.
