What you can expect

Explore the legacy of the Knights Templar on a day trip that features the iconic castles and countryside of Tomar. Your guide shows you unforgettable sights like the unique architecture of the Convent of Christ, the peaceful waters of the Tagus, and the charming city that served as the home of the order.

After the drive from your hotel, your guide takes you straight to the 12th-century Templar stronghold of the Convent of Christ. Famous for its round-sided church, this UNESCO World Heritage Site recalls the order's long history from the days of the Reconquista until the Age of Discovery.

Next, pass by the oldest synagogue in Portugal on your way into the city of Tomar, where your guide points out some of its most unique buildings. In the afternoon, move on to Constância, said to have once been the home of the celebrated Portuguese poet Luís de Camões, and enjoy a beautiful view of the confluence where the Zêzere and Tejo rivers meet.

It's then time to take to the water yourself, as a small boat carries you along the Tagus to the island fortress of the Castle of Almourol. Spend some time exploring the iconic medieval monument before you follow the river south to start your return journey to Lisbon.
