Olá Leslie! Super cool. So, Obidos is very cute but quite small. You can easily pass through and see everything in 1-2 hours and it’s close to Lisbon, so it can be a stopover on the way somewhere. Of course, a slower visit will give you more time to appreciate the beauty of this cute walled village and if you stayed overnight you’d have it to yourself once daytrippers leave. With an 11yo I think walking the wall above the village will be super fun. There’s no barriers, but the wall is wide enough for it to be safe for an older child – a real adventure. From there… if he’s into dinosaurs, you could go to Lourinhã, or Tomar is cool with the Knight’s Templar history and castle. Hope that helps!

It’s so pretty up there! Wish it was closer to Lisbon. I’ve heard it looks so different in every season too. I need to go back. We saw wolves up there too one night!

Hooray! Hopefully you can find everything you need – shout if you have any questions
