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

Excellent well worth the visit . €4 to visit the Castle , that includes the boat trip to get to the castle and the ticket also includes the entrance to the museum which is about 2 miles away from the castle .

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.

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!

Just in front of the church and on the way to the castle, you have the old house who is called the "Ginginha The Castle" . This old shop is existing already for more than a 100 years. In that time it was a traditional old grocery store, which you will see on the interior with still the original old balcony etc. But in the year 1993 it got turned into a Bar - Traditional Tavern "Ginjinha The Castle", make a short stop over in the shop, you will like it, after you have taste the traditional cherry liqueur!

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.

Wal the walls and see the city. Descend through the legendary gate. Bring yourself back to the 12 century in this well maintained castle. It was Christmas eve so no one was in attendance but the gate was open. Lovely.
