Within Óbidos’ castle grounds, Vila Natal creates a family‑focused wonderland of shows, rides and seasonal fun.
Expect colourful light installations, Santa’s house and themed play areas, alongside food kiosks and souvenir stalls. It’s a paid‑entry event designed for children but with plenty to charm adults too, and the medieval setting adds bags of atmosphere. With set opening hours and some closure days, it’s worth checking the schedule and booking tickets in advance, especially at weekends and around Christmas. Parking is signed on approach roads, with shuttle options on busy dates.
