The Tours will start in Porto at 8:00 am, at a meeting point to be arranged, and arrive at 20:00 pm, at the same place of departure.
They will last around 2h30, with a 15min break for a coffee.
The next edition of Óbidos Vila Natal will take place between December 6, 2024 and January 6, 2025. During this period, the perimeter of the walls and castle are filled with bright lights, Christmas decorations and magical attractions for all ages, creating a truly festive and enchanting atmosphere. The event presents a different theme every year and the motto for 2024 will be “the magic of the fairy and elf kingdoms”.
The program includes a series of activities where each visitor is invited to live experiences linked to the charms and spells of these characters. It will be possible to make a visual transformation, a fantastic style change in the Fairy Studio and attend a session on the snow with these mythological creatures — a unique opportunity to learn interesting facts about these ice crystals, explained by characters enchanted.
Another attraction will be the Christmas Decorations Workshop, where participants are invited to create their own souvenirs for the Christmas tree, in a practical and creative activity.
Maintaining the tradition of previous years, it will also be possible to visit Santa Claus' Cabin, ride the carousel or ride the train that runs through the illuminated spaces of the court. For the more adventurous, an Ice Mountain and the famous ice rink will be installed.
