Its architecture is in a flamboyant gothic style with a mixing of Manueline influences.

Another great place you can visit on your way to Lisbon is Obidos, a charming medieval village surrounded by walls.

Enjoy this mesmerising road trip that gives you the chance to admire many of Portugalยดs treasures. Arrive in Lisbon and spend the rest of the day visiting the city.
