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 enter the castle to admire its 10 imposing towers. During our visit, we'll learn about its history, being one of the most important military monuments of the Iberian Reconquista.

Following this, you'll have free time to taste the traditional Portuguese cuisine at one of the medieval-style restaurants in the area (lunch not included).

Afterward, the bus will take us to Tomar, Templar City. We'll visit the historical centre full of medieval monuments relating to the Order of the Poor Knights of Temple and learn more about King Alfonso I and the Templars.

Accompanied by our guide, we'll visit Tomar Castle and the Convent of Christ, a sanctuary built in the image of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. We'll also visit the Church of Santa Maria del Olivar, a 12th-century Gothic temple created for the Knights Templar.

The tour will conclude by returning to Lisbon, with arrival at Praça Marque de Pombal scheduled for 11 hours after pickup.
