Óbidos
A charming little town where time slows down for a moment Intro Óbidos is one of those towns in Portugal that you simply must see at least once. An hour's drive from Lisbon, on the picturesque Costa da Prata , it lies like a small medieval jewel nestled among the hills. Yes, Óbidos is popular with travelers, but that is precisely what ensures it is so beautifully maintained. It exudes that typical Portuguese charm and feels as if you are walking through a timeless setting. I

Christmas shopping with that little bit extra
Mini travelogue – Travel with Bieke My gut feeling is right. December 10, 2025, the time has come. Today marks the start of my first women's group trip.

Sometimes in the sun… other times arme

Trips where all the puzzle pieces fit together
Two travel concepts, one shared vision. What makes a trip truly special? For us, a special journey does not begin with a spectacular brochure photo or a luxury hotel. It is the big picture that counts. The atmosphere of a place. The hospitality. A walk recommended by a local. A restaurant where the menu is not available in four languages and where you need a translation app to discover what the chef is preparing today with so much pride. Nature, the vistas, and the tranquilit

Why September is the most beautiful month to travel to Portugal
Zilverkust Portugal For many people, September is the end of summer. For me, every year, it feels like the beginning of something beautiful. "September?" She looked at me in surprise for a moment. Then summer is over, isn't it? I had to smile. Because honestly? That is exactly what most people think. As soon as the calendar points to September, it seems as if summer is officially over.
