Know more about your day trip
The Convent of Christ (Convento de Cristo), a UNESCO World Heritage site, showcases 700 years of Portuguese architectural styles in one complex. Its highlight is the unique Manueline-style Charola, an ornate round church originally built by the Knights Templar. You'll marvel at the famous Chapter House window with its intricate maritime motifs symbolizing Portugal's Age of Discovery and explore cloisters spanning Gothic, Manueline, and Renaissance styles.
Batalha Monastery (Mosteiro da Batalha), another UNESCO site, commemorates Portugal's pivotal 1385 victory over Castile at the Battle of Aljubarrota, which secured Portuguese independence. This Gothic masterpiece took over 150 years to build and houses tombs of the Aviz dynasty, including King Joao I. The Unfinished Chapels with their open-air, star-vaulted ceilings represent one of Portugal's most impressive architectural achievements.
From Coimbra to Tomar takes approximately 1 hour (about 80 km), while Tomar to Batalha is roughly 45 minutes (60 km). The return from Batalha to Coimbra is about 1 hour (75 km). Your private driver handles all transportation through central Portugal's scenic countryside, allowing you to focus on enjoying the journey and sights without navigation concerns.
Both monuments offer distinct yet equally impressive experiences. Tomar's Convent of Christ provides more diverse architectural styles and deeper connections to Templar and maritime history, with extensive grounds to explore. Batalha Monastery offers more concentrated Gothic grandeur with spectacular stone craftsmanship
