You step out of Lisbon early and the highway loosens its grip—vineyards and low cork-oak hills slide by as the Tagus widens and the day stretches. The tour deposits you in Tomar’s compact streets where the Convent of Christ sits like a layered history book: Romanesque foundations, Gothic vaults, and Manueline ornament that records Portugal’s medieval ambitions.
