Praca Rodrigues Lobo

Reviewed By Pibpog - Eastbourne, United Kingdom

Great for a wander and a contrast to the lovely narrow lanes of the town. We enjoyed the sculptures and water feature. The antiques market is every second Saturday of the month - well worth a visit

Praia do Pedrogao

Reviewed By Gambu-01

This is real authentic Portuguese style sea-side village. Few tourists. Great beaches and great restaurants. Peace and quiet during the week, busy in the weekends. Are there nicer villages in Portugal in the area? Sure, but also loads more tourists (Ericeira, Nazare, Figueira da Foz amongst them). So it's really up to what you are looking for. If it's a bustling tourist town head elsewhere. If it is the true authentic village by the sea with scarce tourism Praia do Pedrogão is great. In any case it is a great point from which to explore the many things to see and do in a 30-60 minute area, and then come back to total peace and relaxation afterwards. I love it, but then I am a dutchie.

Lagoa da Ervedeira

This lagoon, located in the middle of Leiria woods, is an example of the natural beauties that surround the city, only a few minutes away by car. All you have to do is take Marinha Grande or Vieira de Leiria beach direction, only a few kilometres away , in order to enter a quite pleasant forest area that has been well-preserved, inviting to a walk and to exercise.
