Comfortable Footwear Is a Must
Expect uneven cobblestones in Óbidos and rocky trails on Berlengas Island, so sturdy shoes will keep you steady and comfortable.
Bring Sun Protection
The exposed coastline on Berlengas gets strong sun, so hats, sunscreen, and sunglasses are recommended year-round.
Pack Light for the Ferry
Space on the ferry to Berlengas is limited; keep bags small and manageable to move easily on and off the boat.
Carry Identification
Bring your passport or ID card for monument entries, especially in Óbidos where you'll want access to the castle and museums.
