From early on, the urban planning of the city of Leiria enabled the integration of stairs, forming short cuts.

Some staircases, which are made up of only half a dozen steps, are highlighted by their picturesque surroundings.

Others are built into slopes so steep they’ll leave you out of breath, but are worth walking up for the views of the city you’ll get from the top.

We suggest a leisurely stroll to explore a few of them, stopping to admire the scenery the city has to offer.
