Explore Portugal’s Templar heritage on a private day trip from Lisbon, travelling with your own driver-guide and returning to your hotel at the end of the day.

Begin with Almourol Castle, set on a small island in the Tagus River. Discover the setting of this medieval fortress and its connection to the Knights Templar. Access to the island and castle depends on local operating conditions and boat services.

Continue to Tomar to discover the Convent of Christ and its remarkable Charola. Follow the architectural legacy of the Knights Templar and the Order of Christ as your guide brings the buildings and their history into context.

Explore Tomar’s historic centre and the Church of Santa Maria do Olival, closely associated with the Templar order. The route also introduces the city’s wider heritage, with the Tomar Synagogue and the green setting of Mata dos Sete Montes where time and opening hours allow.

Enjoy the flexibility of a vehicle reserved for your group and a driver-guide available in English, Portuguese or Spanish. The order of visits may change with traffic, opening hours and boat operations. Ticketed monument visits and any boat access are subject to availability; the itinerary marks visits with an extra fee.

Entrance tickets to all monuments and attractions, including the Convent of Christ and Almourol Castle, are not included. Boat tickets and optional paid activities are also paid separately.
