About

Two historical, beautiful, and unique UNESCO heritage sites in one go. Alcobaça Monastery is a place where eternal love is celebrated, as it is the resting place of Pedro and Inês, crowned Queen of Portugal… after death. We will tell you all about the history and daily life of this ancient monastery, one the biggest of all Cistercian centers in Europe. “Pray and Work” was the motto of the monks, who left a strong legacy beyond spiritual matters: they were also famous for their delicious pastries. Afterwards, we'll visit Nazaré where you will be able to take in some massive views and learn about the legends and traditions of this unique place that was once a fishing village and is now a surfing Meca. After lunch in Nazaré, it's time to visit Batalha Monastery, a true masterpiece of Portuguese Late Gothic architecture. You will see the marvelous royal pantheon and learn all about the Battle (Batalha) of Aljubarrota, which paved the way for Portugal to become the first global empire.

The guided visit with João Pedro was fantastic, well above our expectations. John has a very great knowledge and taste about Historia, and made us revive the whole history around the Battle Monastery, always with curiosities and very interesting facts. Worth 200%! And we are already thinking about a next visit to Tomar with SilverCoastTravelling. Thank you, it was a very enriching experience!

We spent a whole day with Ivo, who picked up at our Airbnb and took us to some of the most beautiful spots in the area. Our tour included a few stunning viewpoints on the coast, a walking tour of Obidós, and a guided visit through Batalha. We also stopped for a swim at a lagoon I wouldn't have known of, to refresh our kids!! Ivo is not only super knowledgeable about the local and national history and culture, but also friendly and relatable. Impeccable English, too. Thanks Ivo for the fabulous day! Definitely a highlight of our time in Portugal.

Os túmulos de D. Pedro e D. Inês de Castro são um must! Mas os claustros do mosteiro de Alcobaça merecem a visita! A cozinha é espectacular! O mosteiro da Batalha é uma maravilha e a história por trás da construção do mesmo vale a pena. Gostámos muito da visita (e dos doces em Alcobaça). Recomendamos.
