You’ll be captivated by its intricate architecture, including the famous Charola, the Templars’ original oratory.

It's a good tour if you like castles and historical places

It's a good tour if you like castles and historical places. Even if it was super busy at the river where there is one small boat which takes tourists to the castle, we managed to get on the boat thanks to the guide - so that was good! What could have been better - we wished to have more time at the convent, and the tour was half English and half Portuguese, so the guide was repeating the same info in two languages and that was a bit annoying and a waste of time (e.g. we were moving very slowly in the convent).
