August 2022. We start early to visit Óbidos before the crowds of tourists descend upon the city. It’s well worth getting up early for, to have this magical medieval walled city all to yourself.
We walk the impressive walls of Obidos. Not for the faint hearted as they are high and the lack of safety barriers make it a trifle scary in places. It’s a wonderful place to admire the stunning castle and the picturesque town from the ancient walls.
We also sample Ginja, the local cherry brandy, we take a stroll through time to see the old cobbled streets of Obidos, it’s churches and important buildings.
This is one of a series of videos we made with family visiting, Ma and Gazza over from New Zealand, showing them the highlights of Portugal in true Frugal Traveller style!

Happy anniversary to you both. Mandy I thought you were brave the last time you were in Obidos to climb part of the wall , now I know you are. If and when we go, we will definitely stay at least two days so we have the early morning experience. Gaz is showing off running up those high steps – did he clllapse in a heap at the top? I think you climbed up the hardest part of the stairs by climbing up from the main gate. It must have been just beautiful waking the walls and overlooking the town without the crowds. Hope I will be identify the "money shot" site! Was that a 14C toilet in the library Mandy :)? Is the Pingo Dos cafeteria outside the town walls?
Another great video, looking forward to visiting Obidos next year. Thanks.
Thank you for this video. I’ll be in Obidos for a couple of days in November. I’m hoping I’ll have the nerve to climb the walls. You are making me excited to see this lovely town.
Love your video. Very interesting to watch! 🤩🤩

Very nice video about Óbidos, one of the nicest places in Portugal. I didn't knew that there was ginjinha for kids. I have to go there to taste it. If you are still in Nazaré, I strongly you recommend that you make a train trip by Linha do Oeste until Caldas da Rainha station: you can find some amazing views and Caldas station has beautiful tiles. Cheers. Luís Miguel
You were very brave, I chickened out of the walk on the wall, I love Obidos, it’s so pretty. We only live down the road from it and it’s great to go back now the crowds have all gone.
🙂
I loved Obidos when I visited in 2015, remember a lot of what you saw. However, I'm terrified of heights and had to fast forward your walk along the wall! Clearly, I did not do that when I was there. It WAS, however, wonderful to be reminded of the other parts – ginginha and the entrance with the beautiful blue tiles. Thank you.
Bravery Awards around 🏅🎖️Mandy I'd get me a drone 😉 no vertigo issues, great vid 😎👍
What a great town – and definitely the best decision to go early before everyone else arrived!
Your video always reminds me how much fun I was in Portugal in summer, 2017.
Lisbon, Evora, Obidos, Nazare, Tomar, Porto, etc. almost the same route as you!
Have fun, pray for your safety! I'm a big fan of your video.
Hi team Frugal of 4! What a day in Óbidos.
I'm still wondering if people fell off.
I do understand they don't want to modify the existing structure but it's still dangerous especially for a place that receives so many tourists with they kids..
Always interesting the part where you guys go for breakfast / lunch.
Wishing you guy a lovely week! 🤪
Happy Anniversary Mandie and Lee. ❤️🙂. That was a lovely and daring video. I'm not sure l will be brave enough to go up that high 🤣🤣. Will definitely visit here. Thanks for showing me around. 🙂 xx
That top part of the wall is indeed scary. I am not doing that part ever again.
Mandy and Lee that was a great video. If people don't go visit this amazing place after watching this they are crazy. One of my favourite places in Portugal also. So glad to see the Ginjinha in choc cup is still only 1 euro, this was the first place I tried it back in 1998. Love how you took us all for a walk along the top of the walls, good for some of us too chicken to brave the narrow ledge. Well done guys. ❤
Looking forward to this one! Mandy I know you hate those walls… I have no issues with heights and even I was a little freaked out by the wall walking!
Good day Mandy and Lee. Waiting again here with bated breath for the next video, I can hardly control my water.
