Bacalhôa Buddha Eden
Portugal's largest Eastern-themed garden, with a golden Buddha and replicas of terracotta warriors scattered among the vineyards.
Buddha Eden was built in 2001 by the winery owner after the Bamiyan Buddhas in Afghanistan were destroyed. Covering about 35 hectares, the park features tall golden Buddha statues, hundreds of replica terracotta warriors, pagodas and lakes, as well as African and contemporary art sculpture areas. The grounds are large, so a small train is available for touring. Tickets cost about €5 and include an optional winery tasting. It is open roughly 9:00–18:00. The park is in Bombarral, about 15 km from Óbidos, and suits a half-day drive.
