Where to park
As it is not allowed to go by car inside the castle walls, you must park outside.
Arriving in Óbidos, there are several car parks, properly signalled.
This is the closest free parking to the house (unavailable during events like Christmas, Medieval, Chocolate or Folio). It’s only about 3 minutes walking from the house.
