Óbidos, inside the walls
A Lisbon to Óbidos day trip on this page is one of four full-day tours, and none of them goes to Óbidos alone. Three pair the walled town with Fátima, Batalha and Nazaré; the fourth carries on to Nazaré and Porto. Prices run from $56 to $127 per person. Here is what each tour does in Óbidos, what the price covers, and which one to book.

Quick answer
The short answer. Our top pick for a Lisbon to Óbidos day trip is the Porto day at $127: it opens with a guided visit in Óbidos, then Nazaré and Porto, and 1,628 reviewers rate it 4.5. It is a long day of 13 hours. For Óbidos with Fátima instead, the $56 full day is the lowest price here, the $73 tour keeps the group to 8, and the $90 tour collects you from your Lisbon hotel.
The walled town
What the listings promise inside the walls, and what reviewers wrote afterwards.
Óbidos is a medieval village inside stone walls, and the listings describe it in a few lines each. The Porto day says the most: a «guided private or shared tour», the «secret Jewish neighborhood», and the Castle of Óbidos, which the listing calls «one of the 7 wonders of Portugal». The three Fátima tours put the weight on a tasting: ginjinha, a cherry liqueur, served in a chocolate cup on two of them.
Reviewers liked what they found. Sean from the United Kingdom, on the Porto day: «Óbidos was full of history and charm.» Mary from Ireland, on the $73 tour: «Obidos was a must see.» Carolyn R from Australia, on the $90 tour, wanted more of it: «I could have had less time in Fatima and Batalha and more time in Obidos which was the highlight for me.»
That is the honest shape of a Lisbon to Óbidos day trip: the town is one stop in a full day. Book it for the lanes, the walls and the ginjinha, and choose the tour whose other stops you want most.
Inside and below the walls
Two frames from Óbidos and one from Batalha, which three of the four tours visit.
Crenellated walls and a square stone tower rise over white houses with red-tiled roofs.
White houses trimmed in blue and yellow, iron lanterns, balconies and shop displays, and a small church at the far end of the street.
Pointed Gothic windows, pinnacles and weathered stone. The $73 tour lists the Founder’s Chapel, the cloisters and the unfinished chapels.
Every trip, current fare
Four tours, lowest price first. All prices are per person, and none of the four lists lunch in the price.

The four tours
Same town, four different days, lowest price first.
The lowest price on this page. The Sanctuary of Fátima with the Chapel of the Apparitions, the Sítio viewpoint in Nazaré with a lunch stop, a stop at Batalha, then Óbidos and «ginjinha served in a chocolate cup». Pickup on some options. 1,861 reviews at 4.7.
Limited to 8 participants in a climate-controlled van. At Batalha the listing names the Founder’s Chapel, the cloisters and the unfinished chapels; then the coast past Foz do Arelho and São Martinho do Porto, lunch in Nazaré and «Ginja licor in a chocolate cup» in Óbidos. 622 reviews at 4.8.
The one tour with hotel pickup in Lisbon included. An air-conditioned minivan, the late Gothic Batalha Monastery (UNESCO), Nazaré with lunch at your own expense, and a chance to «taste the famous ginjinha liqueur» in Óbidos. 885 reviews at 4.8.
Our top pick. A guided visit in Óbidos opens the day, then Nazaré (Forte de São Miguel and O Sítio) and Porto: an hour for lunch on your own and a 1.5-hour walking tour. The longest day here, rated 4.5 from 1,628 reviews.
One day, several towns
Fátima, Batalha and Nazaré on three tours; Nazaré and Porto on the fourth.
On this page, a day trip to Óbidos from Lisbon comes with company. On three tours that company is Fátima, Batalha and Nazaré. At Fátima the listings name the Basilica, the Chapel of the Apparitions and the Basilica of the Holy Trinity, inaugurated in 2007; the $73 tour adds the stained glass art and the statue of Our Lady of Fatima.
Batalha is the Monastery of Santa Maria da Vitória, late Gothic and 14th century, on the UNESCO list. Nazaré is a fishing town known for big-wave surfing: the $90 listing quotes the largest wave ever ridden, 24 metres, in 2011. No listing promises big waves on the day you go; the views from the Sítio viewpoint and the Nazaré Cliffs are what the tours sell.
The fourth tour swaps Fátima for Porto, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. After Óbidos and Nazaré you get an hour for lunch and a walk past São Bento station, the church of São Francisco and the Dom Luís bridge. Sean from the United Kingdom sums it up: «It’s a long journey, but a cracking way to see more of Portugal if you're short on time.»
How to choose
Answer them in order and the right Óbidos day trip from Lisbon picks itself.
For Porto, the $127 day is the only option, and it is our top pick. For Fátima, pick one of the other three.
The $56 full day is the lowest price for any Lisbon to Óbidos day trip here, and 1,861 reviewers rate it 4.7. The site’s $25 to $34 listings are the hop-on hop-off bus, an e-bike ride and two Tagus sailing trips, all of them in the city.
The $73 tour is limited to 8 participants. Mallory from the United States: «The transportation was a van with a group of 8.» The $90 tour offers private or small groups, with no number given.
Then book the $90 tour, where pickup is included. Kyriaki from Australia: «Loved the pick up and drop off to our hotels.»
The tasting
Three tours list it; none of them says what it costs.
Ginjinha, or ginja, is a cherry liqueur, and in Óbidos it comes in a small chocolate cup. Three of the four tours mention it: «ginjinha served in a chocolate cup» on the $56 tour, «Ginja licor in a chocolate cup» on the $73 tour, and «taste the famous ginjinha liqueur» on the $90 tour. The Porto day does not mention it.
None of the three says whether the tasting is in the price, so check the listing before you go. Reviewers who tried it are clear. Mário from Portugal, on the $56 tour: «We had the absolute best time exploring Óbidos (the ginjinha is a must!)».
Before you book
Two minutes on the listing saves booking the wrong Lisbon to Óbidos day trip.
Pickup is included only on the $90 tour. The $56 and $127 tours offer it on some options; the $73 tour meets on Avenida da Liberdade.
Not in the price on any of the four. Porto gives you an hour on your own; on the Fátima tours, lunch is in Nazaré.
English on all four. The $127 day also lists Spanish and Portuguese; the $56 tour adds German and Italian; the $73 tour adds French.
Some religious sites may require modest clothing, and the $56 listing asks you to keep a valid ID with you.
The listing is blunt: «If you are late, you will not receive a refund». You can ask to stay in Porto if there is space for your luggage.
Our verdict
Book the Porto day if you want the most from one long day. At $127 per person, it describes Óbidos in the most detail — a guided visit, the Jewish quarter, the castle — and adds Nazaré and Porto. You pay in hours: 13 of them, rated 4.5. Derice from the United States: «we thoroughly enjoyed the day, even though it was very long!»
Rather pair Óbidos with Fátima? The $56 full day is the lowest price on any Lisbon to Óbidos day trip here. Pay $73 for a group of 8 at most and the Batalha cloisters, or $90 to be collected from your hotel.

Common questions
Yes. Three tours here do it: $56 for 10 hours, $73 for 9 hours with 8 participants at most, and $90 for 8 hours with hotel pickup in Lisbon. The Porto day stops in Óbidos and Nazaré but not in Fátima or Batalha.
A cherry liqueur served in a small chocolate cup, tasted in Óbidos. The $56 and $73 tours list it in a chocolate cup; the $90 tour lists a ginjinha tasting. None of the three says whether it is in the price.
The $73 tour lists the Founder’s Chapel, the cloisters and the unfinished chapels; whether a ticket is in the price is not stated. On the $56 tour, plan on a stop at Batalha rather than a visit inside. The Porto day does not go to Batalha.
One: the $90 tour collects you from your Lisbon hotel, and the pickup time is confirmed 48 hours before. The $56 and $127 tours offer pickup on some options. The $73 tour meets on Avenida da Liberdade and returns there.
No. None of the four lists lunch in the price. The Porto day gives you an hour for lunch on your own in Porto; on the three Fátima tours lunch is in Nazaré, and the $90 listing says at your own expense.
Yes. All four list Free cancellation; check the deadline on the listing before you book. On the Porto day, note one more rule: if you are late, you will not receive a refund.
