Castelo de Almourol

Combining the natural beauty of the river Tagus with a tour of a boat prepared for group travel, to the Castle of Almourol is one of the most interesting trips and with plenty of affluence for its characteristics. One of the most beautiful Castles in Portugal

Castelo de Tomar

Reviewed By O180DVjacks - Melbourne, United States

From the first moment you arrive in Tomar, Hold on to your hat, you are in for an experience of a lifetime. The Town of Tomar is a myriad of sweet smelling small passages, streets and squares, cafe's, shops, and small restaurants and eateries to cater to every taste. The food is authentic and delicious....be prepared to gain a few pounds in weight. The Old Town of Tomar is steeped in history, and the best way to see this is a guided tour in a Tuk Tuk., its like a magical mystery tour and the drivers/tour guides are fluent in English, French and German. The Templar Castle and the Convent of Christ is the Icing on a very big cake. Go and be amazed. I will leave it at that.

A Ginjinha d'Castelo de Ourem

The house "Ginginha The Castle" is a business for almost 100 years. From traditional old grocery store, in 1993 it became the Bar - Traditional Tavern "Ginjinha The Castle", making it one of the landmarks to visit for those in the historical area of ​​Ourém. Taste the traditional cherry liqueur and treat yourself!

Castelo de Ourem

Reviewed By Bleupasse

Our hotel owner suggested we spend the late afternoon there after arriving from Tomar. What a view all the way to Fatima, and what a well preserved gem of a XIIth century castle! You cannot go in but walking around is atmospheric and free. The medieval village underneath is beautiful too. I was surprised to see how deserted the place was, given its beauty and charm.
