Full Description

Experience the perfect blend of medieval Portugal and exotic Eastern influences on this full-day private tour from Lisbon. Discover the romantic Óbidos Castle, wander through the stunning Buddha Eden gardens, and unwind at the beautiful Foz do Arelho beach where the lagoon meets the ocean.

We will start the tour from your pickup location in Lisbon and travel to our first destination, the Bacalhôa Buddha Eden Garden, located about 1 hour from Lisbon. This 35-hectare oriental garden was created as a response to the destruction of the Buddhas of Bamiyan in Afghanistan.

After exploring the gardens, we'll continue to the magnificent Óbidos Castle, classified as a National Monument since 1910. This perfectly preserved medieval castle was once a wedding gift from King Dinis to Queen Isabel in the 13th century.

Finally, we'll visit Foz do Arelho beach where the Óbidos Lagoon meets the Atlantic Ocean, offering a unique landscape between lagoon and ocean, before returning to your accommodation in Lisbon.
