Leiria Things to Do Tips by Henrik_rrb

The castle

Up on the top over the whole city is the big castle. The view is amazing, as long as you manage to get inside in time. The castle closes at 4 pm, so be sure to be there in time. After the doors are closed you have another hour to visit it, so no problem there.
The cost to enter is low, just around 2 euro, with another fee to enter the tower too. We didny´t and didny´t either feel that it was something we had to do. It was clearly enough with the castle, and the view from it. On top of it you could see all over Leiria, the stadium, the squares and the countryside. Really nice.

Directions: You'll see it as soon as you enter the town-center.

The football-stadium

Built for the Euro2004 the stadium is inside the center of the town. Right under the castle. It takes 30 000 spectators and is really impressing.

Directions: Right below the big castle in the town-center.
