Afterward, head to Batalha to visit the impressive Monastery of Santa Maria da Vitória, a masterpiece of Gothic and Manueline architecture built to commemorate the 1385 Battle of Aljubarrota. Wander through its intricate chapels, cloisters, and ornate details that reflect centuries of Portuguese history and craftsmanship.

The final stop is the medieval village of Óbidos, one of Portugal’s most enchanting walled towns.
