About this activity

After your morning pickup, start your day with a visit to the Monastery of Alcobaça, also called Royal Abbey of Santa Maria. Observe the magnificent Gothic tombs of the two lovers King Pedro and Ines de Castro, characters of a true romantic Portuguese story from the 14th century, similar to "Romeo and Juliet". Then, head to the Monastery of Batalha, an incredible creation of Portuguese Gothic influence, built in 1386. Admire the stained-glass windows of the Founder's Chapel, Chapter House, and the Unfinished Chapels.

Next, visit the beautiful and historic town of Tomar, where you will find the Convent of Christ and Knights Templar Castle. UNESCO awarded the classification of world heritage to the Templar Castle and the Convent of the Knights of Christ in Tomar in 1983. Finish the tour with a visit to the Aquaduct of the Convent of Christ. This aqueduct was built to supply water to the Convento de Cristo and was build in 1593. Head back to your accommodations at the end of your long and culturally-rich day.

Miguel Lux Invicta was an excellent tour guide. His command of Portuguese history and culture was phenomenal.
