Discover the charm and cultural wealth of the Templar City with this Tomar Day Trip from Lisbon. We'll admire its 12th-century architecture and the historic Almourol Castle.

Tomar and Almourol Castle Day Trip

At the indicated time, we'll meet at Praça da Figueira to start our Tomar day trip. After approximately an hour and a half of travelling through the landscapes of central Portugal, we'll arrive at our first destination, Almourol Castle.

We'll approach the 12th-century fortress, on the small island located in the Tejo River, by boat and go into the castle to admire its 10 imposing towers. As we walk around the castle, we'll learn about its history. Did you know that it is one of the most important military monuments of the Iberian Reconquista?

After this 1.5-hour tour, we'll head to the center of Tomar, Templar City. We'll visit the historical centre full of medieval monuments relating to the Order of the Poor Knights of the Temple, and learn more about King Alfonso I and the Templars.

Accompanied by our guide, we'll visit the churches of São João Batista and Santa María del Olivar. You'll also have free time to taste traditional Portuguese cuisine at one of the medieval-style restaurants in the area on your own.

2 hours later, we'll step into the Convent of Christ, a sanctuary belonging to the Templars that was built in the image and likeness of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. We'll go on a 2-hour guided tour to explore the interior of cloisters, ornamented chapels, and the famous Manueline window, a symbolic treasure that was carved in stone, inspired by the Age of Discovery.

The tour will end by returning to Lisbon, where arrival at Praça Marque de Pombal is scheduled for 9 hours after pickup.

Tour With Pickup

During the booking process, you can select the tour with the pickup option. In this case, we'll pick you up at your hotel in the center of Lisbon.
