Óbidos Getting there & around

Getting there & away

The town’s main gate, Porta da Vila, leads directly into the main street, Rua Direita. Buses stop on the main road just outside Porta da Vila. There is a paying car park just outside the gate, while the one just across the road is free.

Buses run frequently to Caldas da Rainha (€1.20, 15 minutes) and Peniche (€2.15, 45 minutes). There are seven weekday runs to Lisbon (€7.50, 70 minutes), with one on Saturday and none on Sunday. Otherwise change at Caldas da Rainha.

Óbidos’ train station has at least six daily trains to Lisbon (€9.20, 2½ hours) via connections at Mira Sintra-Meclas station on the suburban Lisbon line. The station is located at the foot of the castle end of town. It’s rather a hoof uphill.
