Hi
I am planning to travel from Porto - Obidos - Sintra - Lisbon.
Can anyone advise on how to travel from Porto to Obidos?
Thanks!
Rail is the best
I think the best way is to go by bus (Rede Expressos - www.rede-expressos.pt) from Porto to Caldas da Rainha, which is near Obidos (about 5km). From there you can catch the train (www.cp.pt) or another bus to Obidos.
Greetings,
Helio
Does any know which buses go from Caldras to Obidos? I went to a few sites and none of them list Obidos. I tried the Rede bus site as went as the Rodoviaria.
Hi!
The company that does that connection is Rodoviaria do Tejo.
1-Go to this site: http://www.rodotejo.pt/horarios.php
2-Choose "Interurbanas" on your left side
3-Choose the letter "C"
4-In "Origens" choose "Caldas da Rainha" and wait a moment
5-In "Destinos" choose "Obidos"
6-Finally the time table appears
Translation:
Sabados e Feriados - Saturdays and Holidays
Dias Uteis - Monday to Friday, except holidays
Diario - Daily
vesperas Feriado - the day before a holiday
Período Escolar - On School Days
2ª-Monday
3ª-Tuesday

Hope it helps.
Any doubt, feel free to ask!
Enjoy your stay!
Visiting Óbidos is always a pleasure. Visiting Óbidos in mood for a romance is even better.
Visitors may walk on the castle walls, wandering on the ancient streets, and drinking Ginga - a local sweet liquor ....
... any person may easily fall in love :)
Before entering the Village Door there is the Tourism Office. It is a small building with and glass front and yellow stripe around. There they will provide with the information you need and offer a map of the village with all the must see places. In Portuguese Tourism is Turismo.
Obidos is reminiscent of centuries past, with views of its cluster of whitewashed houses still encircled by its imposing walls nestled on top of a sloped hill. Its interior is criss-crossed by ancient streets and alleys, which, together with its Moorish castle and its numerous monuments, make Obidos such a unique and beautiful town.
Obidos is a lovely medieval village. Everything seems to be in perfect order. I’ve been told that it isn’t allowed to build new houses inside the walls and that refurbishment has to keep certain patterns. The houses are lovely, as they are small, painted white with yellow or blue stripes. And most of them have flower vases hanging on the windows, making the streets a joyful place on spring and summer sunny days. Churches are also very pretty, most of them with beautiful azulejos (tiles), paintings and frescoes. Baroque style architecture or in other forms of arts such as azulejos (hand painted tiles) is easy to find in Obidos.
The most charming aspect of Obidos has to be its NARROW COBBLESTONED STREETS. Its main street "Rua Direita" leads from the town gate to the main square "Praca de Santa Maria". Here you will find all sorts of little shops, restaurants, St. Mary's Church, etc. I loved looking up at the various little alleys with stairs leading up to residences.
The street is lined with white-washed houses, some painted with blue and yellow borders - must be a tradition in Obidos and many draped with bougainvillaea vines.
