Why Tourists Visit Centro Region

The Centro Region of Portugal is a treasure trove of historical landmarks, picturesque landscapes, and charming towns that appeal to a wide range of travelers.

Key attractions include the medieval Óbidos Castle, the world-renowned University of Coimbra (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), and the religious Fatima Sanctuary that draws millions of pilgrims annually.

Outdoor enthusiasts can explore the Serra da Estrela mountain range, Portugal's highest peak, while gastronomy lovers will enjoy regional delicacies like the iconic Bairrada roast piglet and Serra da Estrela cheese.

Centro Region Tips You Must Know

• Book your accommodation at least 2-3 months in advance if visiting during festivals like the Fatima Pilgrimage in May and October.

• Late spring and early autumn (April-June and September-October) offer the best weather and fewer tourist crowds.

• Public transportation is efficient in cities like Coimbra and Aveiro, but renting a car is recommended for exploring rural attractions like Serra da Estrela.

• Many hotels include breakfast; confirm this when booking to save on morning meals.

• Check cancellation policies as some guesthouses and boutique hotels in rural areas may have stricter booking terms.

Coimbra

Coimbra, once the capital of Portugal, is home to one of the world’s oldest universities, founded in 1290, featuring a dazzling Baroque library called Biblioteca Joanina. The city’s medieval streets reveal Roman ruins and Moorish influences at every turn. The unique Queima das Fitas festival celebrates students with colorful traditions and lively parades.

Discover the best hotels in Coimbra that perfectly complement its rich history and academic charm.

Aveiro

Aveiro, often called the ‘Venice of Portugal,’ enchants visitors with its canals adorned by moliceiro boats painted in bold colors. The city boasts vibrant Art Nouveau buildings and the delicious ovos moles, a distinctive egg-yolk-based treat. The nearby Costa Nova is famous for its striped beach houses, making it Instagram gold.

Explore hotels in Aveiro to fully experience the canals, architecture, and coastal charms.

Fatima

Fatima attracts millions worldwide as a pilgrimage site where three shepherd children reportedly saw the Virgin Mary in 1917. The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Fatima includes an expansive plaza that can hold up to a million people during major events. A surprising gem is the Wax Museum, narrating the town’s miraculous history through lifelike displays.

Choose from a variety of hotels in Fatima to experience its profound spiritual legacy.

Óbidos

Óbidos, a perfectly preserved medieval town, charms with its cobblestoned streets, whitewashed houses, and a striking hilltop castle now turned into a hotel. The town invites chocolate lovers during its International Chocolate Festival, transforming the streets into a sweet paradise. The Ginja d’Óbidos cherry liqueur is served in edible chocolate cups for a unique treat.

Stay in one of the unique hotels in Óbidos for a true medieval fantasy experience.

Tomar

Tomar is a Templar city where the Convent of Christ, a UNESCO site, holds secrets from the Knights Templar order. The city’s layout was designed with esoteric symbolism, intriguing history buffs and architecture enthusiasts. Its Festa dos Tabuleiros is one of Portugal’s oldest festivals, with locals parading floral baskets on their heads.
