Take this tour if you have a curiosity to know more about the history - This was a tour was filled with history, especially while exploring the stunning Leiria Medieval Castle, about which the tour guide provided us all the relevant history behind this amazing monument. The Monastery of Batalha was magnificent. I always have a curiosity to know more about the history and this was a perfect tour for me.

Visit to Leiria - A visit to the Castle is unmissable. The city has many green spaces and in places where the river flows, the experience of the different waterfalls is very pleasant. It's worth visiting the paper mill
