Christmas doesn't
just come for one day in Óbidos in central Portugal, but for over a
month.
The town, which has a fortified castle,
transforms itself into a Christmas wonderland complete with Santa Claus'
toy factory and elves.
Vila Natal runs each year and tons of fake
snow are imported to turn the sun-kissed town into a magical
place. Although aimed at children there is fun to
be had for all age groups with sledge runs, ice skating rink and choir
recitals. |
|
Inside although the town
of Óbidos is inside the castle walls, Vila Natal is created inside the
fortified area of the town. Visitors whom do not wish to visit the
festive fun, can still browse the town's shops, narrow streets and
castle walls as normal. Entry to Vila Natal is 5€ for 3 years and over
with children under two going free. There are additional ticket costs
for some of the activities. It is also
possible to purchase tokens to see Santa, ice skating, pony rides,
sledging and on the carousels.
