Highlights
- Discover the delicious taste of Pasteles de Belém (Belém Cakes).
- Savour the sweetness of ovo moles in Aveiro.
- Taste the variety of fish in Nazaré.
- Enjoy a good wine in Vila Nova da Gaia.
The proposal of the day is to take a gastronomic route between Lisbon and Porto, Portugal's two largest cities.
To do so, you'll make a stop in Belém to discover the place where the famous Belém cakes were first made. And, of course, taste them with a delicious coffee.
Then, you'll pass through Óbidos, where you'll love its picturesque medieval old town. There, you can try the chocolate and ginja de Óbidos, a cherry liqueur that has been produced in the area since 1987.
For lunch, drive to the coastal town of Nazaré to eat at one of the fish restaurants. It is also proposed to go up to the viewpoint and take a walk along the coast.
For a snack in the afternoon, you can go to Aveiro, which some people call "the Portuguese Venice" because of the canals and the moliceiros boats that run along them. There, you can buy the original ovos moles, a very sweet dessert.
To end the day, nothing better than a good dinner with a good wine from the Douro Valley, in Villa Nova da Gaia, on the outskirts of Oporto.

Sweets, Fish and Wine between Lisbon and Oporto
Start your day on the road where you can eat and drink some of the traditional food of central Portugal!
The idea is to start early with a hearty breakfast in Belém, near Lisbon. After strolling around Belém and seeing some of its three most characteristic monuments (the Belém Tower, the Monument to the Discoveries and the Jerónimos Monastery) you will visit the town of Óbidos. In this medieval village you will taste chocolate and cherry liqueur (be sure to try it in the traditional chocolate glass).
Lunch will be a fish-based lunch in a restaurant in Nazaré, a fishing village that holds the record for being the place where the highest wave was surfed.
Afterwards, you will stroll around Aveiro to taste other delicious sweets and, finally, you will finish the day in Vila Nova da Gaia, where you can choose between local or international food, but always with a good wine from the Duoro area.
Have a nice road trip!

Pastéis de Belém
Bakery
Open Details
Just a 20-minute drive from the centre of Lisbon is Belém, where the first Belém cakes (Pasteles de Belém) were made in 1837. These pastries are a symbol of Portugal and are delicious!
That's why the suggestion is to have breakfast in the original factory of these pastries, which is located very close to the Jerónimos Monastery. In this factory, which also serves as a café, you can get to know the true flavour of this sweet. The original recipe comes from the monastery and is still kept secret.
If you don't just want to eat sweets, you can also order a sandwich and a delicious coffee with milk.
Open Hours Monday - Sunday: 8:00 - 20:00
Don't forget to buy something to take with you on your trip!
Parking is available in the gardens in front of the confectionery and the monastery. Parking is also available in the gardens in front of the Belém Tower.
