Templars and Castles Tour Tomar and Almourol from Lisbon

Step back in time and uncover the legendary world of the Knights Templar, the medieval order that played a key role in the foundation of Portugal. The Templars were warriors, strategists, and guardians of the kingdom’s early borders. Your journey from Lisbon leads first to the breathtaking Almourol Castle, a dramatic fortress rising from a rocky island in the Tagus River. Once part of the Templars’ defensive network, this iconic castle feels straight out of a medieval legend. You’ll then pass through the charming riverside town of Constância, rich in history and local traditions, before arriving in Tomar — the spiritual heart of the Templars in Portugal. Here you’ll explore the Convent of Christ by Tomar, a UNESCO World Heritage Site featuring the medieval castle, the mysterious round Charola chapel, elegant cloisters, and stunning details. This immersive tour blends history, scenery, and legend into one unforgettable journey through Portugal’s medieval past.
