Activity itinerary

Lisbon (Pass by)

Depart from anywhere in the Greater Lisbon area on this no-rush private tour. Our journey begins towards Tomar, the greatest home of Templar history in Portugal. A comfortable 90-minute highway ride awaits you. No worries, there's always room for a rest stop. Let's go!

Convento de Cristo

2h
Admission ticket included

On arrival to Tomar we will visit its jewels, namely the Castle of Tomar and the Convent of Christ. As well as other beauties, you'll have the chance to see the Charola, which is one of the best of the rare examples of a circular church in the world, and to see the Janela do Capítulo window, which in the originality of its decorative work depicts in art the greatness of the kingdom of Portugal at the time of the Discoveries. As was the criterion for being classified as a World Heritage Site, the site had to be representative of a masterpiece of humanity's creative genius.

Tomar (Pass by)

(OPTIONAL) As this is a half-day tour, after visiting the Convent, it's time to head back to Lisbon. But if we still have time and you feel like it, we can take a stroll and wind through some of the streets of Tomar's Historic Centre to discover more historical and Templar references, learn how the local community still vibrates with Templar culture and feel the pleasantness of the river and the picturesque corners of the town. If you want you can even have lunch (Optinal) on site before returning to Lisbon. The choice is yours. We are here for you.

Lisbon (Pass by)

The return takes between 5 and 7 hours, depending on the optional visits you make and whether you decide to have lunch on site. As a matter of transparency, we would like to inform you that in addition to the added time of 2 hours given to the attractions listed in the itinerary, the remaining 3 to 5 hours announced refer to: 3 hours for the total travel time, and the other 2 hours for the total time of the moments listed as optional and lunch. By the way... we'd like you to know that by choosing us you're choosing a free tour for children under 11 and a 100% sustainable car trip, as all GHG emissions generated are fully offset.
