Join my tour and discover what these 2 World Heritage Sites have to offer! As an educated guide and insider I will be able to unveil the most unexpected facts about both places Tomar and Coimbra. Originally designed as a monument symbolizing the Reconquest, the Convent of the Knights Templar of Tomar (transferred in 1344 to the Knights of the Order of Christ) came to symbolize just the opposite during the Manueline period - the opening up of Portugal to other civilizations. Visit the surprising old University of Coimbra (World Heritage Site) one of my favourite monuments in Portugal, built in 1717. At the behest of King John V of Portugal, the Joanine Library was constructed for the University of Coimbra to house its book collection. Today it is one of the most significant archival libraries in the world and contains some 56, 000 books. Don't miss the opportunity to go off the regular tours and discover this amazing UNESCO gems!

Along the way we will enjoy the green scenery of Ribatejo, one of these regions that remains unknown for tourism where agriculture is of upmost importance. ●Tomar is a charming and historically outstanding town on the banks of the Nabão River.
