Embark on an immersive full-day adventure into the realm of the Knights Templar, exploring the rich tapestry of history, legend, and architecture in Tomar and Almourol.

Journey northward from Lisbon to the enchanting Almourol Castle, a storybook fortress perched on a small island in the Tagus River. Experience a serene boat ride across the tranquil waters and ascend its ancient towers, once vigilantly guarded by Templar knights during the Iberian Crusade — a pivotal campaign in the formation of Portugal.

Continue to Tomar, a region once bestowed upon the Templars by Portugal’s inaugural king and the former stronghold of the Order. Wander through its medieval streets and sacred landmarks, including the 12th-century Church of Santa Maria dos Olivais, the final resting place of Templar Masters.

Ascend to the magnificent Convent of Christ, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Uncover the Templar Charola (rotunda) and the renowned Manueline window — enduring symbols of a legacy that transcended the Order itself.

Relish some leisure time to explore the Convent and its picturesque surroundings before heading back to Lisbon.
