Overview

Tomar was built by the Knights Templar — and their legacy is still very much alive in the streets you're about to walk.

This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Tomar on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.

• Follow the clues to the Monumento Dom Henrique and Praça da República, piecing together Tomar's remarkable place in Portuguese and European history
• Move at your own speed — the app guides you, the city rewards you
• Riddles, trivia, and photo tasks make this a standout activity for families, school trips, and curious couples

Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app.
Around 2 hours - any group size.

The Templars built this city to last forever — you've got about two hours.

What to expect

Starting at R. Pé da Costa de Baixo 6, 2300 Tomar, open the Explorial app and enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message to begin.

From the town's riverside, the trail leads you through Tomar's handsome streets and into its medieval heart. The first riddles take you to the Monumento Dom Henrique, honouring one of Portugal's most significant historical figures and his deep connection to this Templar city.

From here, the route continues to the Complexo Cultural da Levada, a restored industrial heritage complex beside the Nabão river, now repurposed as a vibrant cultural venue.

The app then guides you into Praça da República, the elegant main square at the centre of Tomar's Old Town, lined with the Church of St John the Baptist and the old town hall.

Around 2 hours of walking, any group size. A fully charged smartphone with mobile data is required.
