Tomar, Fatima and Batalha — Journey to a Past Full of History

A tour of a place of worship, a Gothic capital, and the Templar City.

Explore three cities full of history.

Tomar is situated right in the centre of Portugal and is known as the “Templar City”, as it holds some of the greatest secrets of the Templar Order. Full of hidden messages, the Order has defended this city for over a hundred years. It was to thank the knights for their efforts during the fight against the Moors that King Afonso Henriques offered them these lands.

Did you know that Tomar's historic centre is organized in cross, with a convent at each of the cardinal points?

To the north is the former Convent of Anunciada. To the south lies the Convent of San Francisco. To the east, the Convent of Santa Iria and, to the west, the most famous in the city, the Convent of Christ.

A little more than thirty minutes away, we find Batalha, the national reference for Gothic architecture and style.

Both cities have a vast heritage of king’s stories, legends and decisive struggles for independence.

Fatima, also known as the “altar of the world”, is the most important religious destination in Portugal and recognized throughout the world as a place of worship. It is a city of secrets and revelations, and a pilgrimage destination that invites reflection.

More than a visit, an invitation to reflect in tranquillity.

In Tomar, enter a magical place where the maximum exponent is the Convent of Christ, a monument composed of a castle, hermitages, aqueducts, and oratorios. This is one of the most important works of the Renaissance and holds the UNESCO World Heritage classification.

On this tour, you will experience a history full of secrets, without missing out on the spectacular natural landscapes and refreshing river beaches.

For lovers of parties, we suggest the famous Festa dos Tabuleiros, one of the largest traditional events in the region.

In the city of Batalha, let yourself be enchanted by the imposing Batalha Monastery and relive the entire history of Portugal through the unique architecture.

Learn why this small town was so important in the independence of the kingdom.

In a land full of greenery, discover natural beauty as you go on bike rides or explore the walking trails. For the more fearless, there is also the option of a climbing activity.

At lunch, understand why this is a unique area when it comes to regional gastronomy. Enter a typical restaurant in the region and experience an explosion of flavours with snacks such as rice morcelas and regional dishes such as goatling, lamprey, and even the famous cod.

Finish lunch in luxury with some home baking to accompany your coffee.

But this one-time visit doesn't end here.

It is time to leave and get to know Fatima, a place of tranquillity and an authentic point of light for the spirit and mind. It is an invitation to reflection that leaves no one untouched.

Feel all the peace that reigns in this great sanctuary and discover the history that surrounds the apparitions of Our Lady to the three little shepherds: a story of devotion and belief that has transformed this city into a place of worship worldwide.
