THE CASTLE AND THE PORTA DO SOL
Read moreAt the southern end of the city centre, the old castle is located on the former strategic medieval position called the Tagus Line. This fortified town, conquered in turn by the Romans, Barbarians, Moors and Christians, has remains from every era. Today it is in ruins, and you will only find part of the defensive wall, the Porta do Sol. From there, you will have a spectacular view of the Tagus and the valley from which it is difficult to take your eyes off.

PASSADIÇOS DO MONDEGO
Read moreThere are two entrances to this route through the valley, either via a wooden footbridge, or via existing hiking trails: at the Caldeirão dam, or at Videmonte. Before setting off, remember to take water and download your entrance ticket, which you'll need to present at checkpoints (for security purposes). The only hitch is that the route is 12 km one way, which means that you'll have to walk back in the opposite direction, or take a cab, as there's no shuttle yet. Or you need 2 cars... But very pretty!
