2. Convento de Cristo
   2h · Admission ticket included
   On arrival to Tomar we will visit its jewels, namely the Castle of Tomar and the Convent of Christ. As well as other beauties, you'll have the chance to see the Charola, which is one of the best of the rare examples of a circular church in the world, and to see the Janela do Capítulo window, which in the originality of its decorative work depicts in art the greatness of the kingdom of Portugal at the time of the Discoveries. As was the criterion for being classified as a World Heritage Site, the site had to be representative of a masterpiece of humanity's creative genius.

We'll take care of everything and the river trip is quick and pleasant. You can wander around the castle, climb the towers and walls and enjoy the beautiful views from high up.
