Tomar is a cozy Portuguese city with a deep history and a special atmosphere of old Europe. Its streets keep traces of the Middle Ages, and the calm rhythm of life and noble architecture make Tomar attractive for those who are looking for a combination of history and measured rest. The city leaves the impression of a place where the past is vivid and visible at every step, and friendly cafes and embankments create a warm, leisurely atmosphere.
Among the man-made attractions of Tomar, the central place is occupied by the Monastery of the Order of Christ (Convento de Cristo), founded in 1160: its construction lasted about five centuries, and the ensemble combines elements of romance, Gothic and Manueline. Also worth seeing is the castle of Tomara with its fortifications, the old synagogue, the church of Santa Maria do Olival and several interesting museums in the historic center. Narrow streets, ancient bridges across the river and decorated facades of houses - all this forms a rich cultural picture of the city and its architectural pearls.
The natural attractions of the region are no less impressive: the Naban River divides the city into picturesque embankments, pine groves and hills spread around, and nearby there is the Castelo de Bode reservoir and the karst region of Serra de Aire e Candeeiros with famous grottoes (Grutas de Mira de Aire). These places offer excellent opportunities for hiking, picnics and nature watching, complementing the urban cultural route with fresh landscapes and space.
