Workation in Óbidos: the essentials
Medieval walls wrap around a few white streets on a hill, and inside them about 3,000 townspeople share Óbidos with day-trippers who arrive by late morning and leave by evening. For centuries the town belonged to the queens of Portugal. Bookshops have become its trademark, UNESCO named it a City of Literature in 2015, and ginja cherry liqueur is served in chocolate cups. Rentals inside the walls are scarce, so people tend to live in the newer areas below or in Caldas da Rainha, 8 km away. The Óbidos lagoon and the Atlantic beaches are a short drive, and Lisbon Airport is about 65 km south.
