Leiria sprouted and grew in the land between the Castle and the River Lis.
Doted on by two rivers, the Lis and the Lena, which bathe the city in the Golden Sands of the Atlantic, and populated by stunning forests, the city of Leiria provides those who visit with unforgettable locales and a rare charm.

A District Capital located in the halfway point between North and South of the country, to the East, and therefore towards the sea, Leiria is a popular tourist destination for so many reasons: rivers, beaches, pine forests, lakes, salt flats, rock shelters, religious and civil architecture, monumental medieval buildings, museums, thermal baths, popular traditions practised in their purest forms, crafts and a very varied, rich culinary tradition.
Here are some suggestions of the best things to see and do in Leiria!
