One of the most notable cities in the area is Coimbra, the former Capitol of Portugal. It is home to one of the oldest Universities in the World, has a city centre with picturesque narrow streets and a nice riverside. For a family day of fun visit Portugal dos Pequenitos, a theme park with Portuguese monuments scaled down to the size of 5 year olds.
Tomar was originally created inside The Convent of Christ, a UNESCO World Heritage site and is famous for its connection with the Knights Templar. It hosts many Medival Monuments like Churches, Castles and an old Aquaduct and has Medival Festivities in the Summer. It is also close to the Castelo do Bode lake and the Zêzere river for those looking to combine culture with swimming.
The medieval town of Óbidos is like stepping into a fairy tale. The well-preserved Castle can be spotted from far away and the town itself is surrounded by Medival townwalls. Óbidos is also famous for its Ginja de Óbidos, a cherry liqueur served in chocolate cups. The charming streets can be crowded in summer, but the town is more than worth a visit.
Aveiro, known as the "Venice of Portugal," is famous for its picturesque canals and colorful Gondola Boats. A boat tour through the canals is a must-do and gives a perfect impression of the city. And from the city itself it's just a little drive to the beach area of Costa Nova, a coastal area famous for its striped houses in bold colors of red, blue, green, and yellow.
