Tomar is a beautiful city located northeast of Lisbon, about a 1 ½ hour drive, next to the Parque Natural das Serras de Aire e Candeeiros, which features miles of trails and ancient caves to explore. Tomar sits right on the Nabão River, which provides boating and fishing adventures. This history of this town is unique, as it was the central place in which the famous Knight’s Templar operated. Visitors can tour all the places of significance to learn about the bloody history of the Knight’s Templar and how they changed Christianity forever. While historically significant, Tomar is a modest town that provides visitors with traditional Portuguese experiences, attractions, food, and places to stay. There is still much to do within a day at Tomar.
