ARR Tours

Full-day Templars and Tomar tour

About


Unveil the mysteries of the Templars and Portugal’s enchanted landscapes on this full-day private tour, where each site reveals secrets of one of history’s most enigmatic orders. Begin with a boat ride on the Tagus River to the imposing Almourol Castle, a Templar stronghold built on a rocky island. Within its walls, which echo battles and conspiracies, feel the mystical aura of this medieval fortress. If you wish to delve deeper into the Templars’ history, visit the Templar Interpretation Center in Vila Nova da Barquinha. Next, explore the picturesque town of Constância, home to Luís de Camões, Portugal’s greatest poet, who found inspiration here. Learn about the connection between the Templars and the intellectuals of the time while strolling along the peaceful riverside. Tomar, the ultimate Templar city, awaits with its immortal legacy. Visit the Church of Santa Maria do Olival, the pantheon of Templar masters, and feel the weight of history beneath its Gothic arches. Then, enjoy an authentic medieval feast in a local restaurant, where the aromas and flavors transport you back to the era of knights. If open, explore the mysterious Synagogue of Tomar, one of Portugal’s oldest Jewish temples, a testament to the coexistence of cultures that shaped the city. Finally, dive into the heart of the Order with a visit to the Convent of Christ, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and former Templar headquarters in Portugal. Wander through its secret galleries, marvel at the iconic Charola, and uncover the hidden symbols left by the knights. On the return to Lisbon, admire Portugal’s stunning landscapes and reflect on the Templar legends that have stood the test of time. With ARR Tours, this will be more than a journey—it will be a voyage into Portugal’s mystical soul.
