Overview

Charming and cosy

The castle was given as a wedding present by King D. Dinis to Queen Santa Isabel during their wedding that took place on site. This castle is one of the most impressive and romantic sites you can visit.

It includes common areas such as the restaurant and Castelo bar. Don't forget the impressive esplanade together with the reception.

At the Pousada Castelo Óbidos you can choose to stay in the castle and have an authentic medieval experience or stay in the Casa do Castelo (located right next to the castle), where you will have an experience closer to that of living in town.

Since 1951, the Pousada Castelo Óbidos has been housed in the castle of the medieval town of Óbidos and marks the beginning of the exploitation of Classified Heritage by the Pousadas de Portugal.

Ginjinha de Óbidos

Don’t miss out on enjoying a glass of this popular ginja liqueur (a type of cherry plentiful in the region). Try it with ginja, without ginja and in a cup of chocolate, for a varied flavour experience.
