What's Special About Tomar

According to a real estate expert, this historic city is one of the best places to move to in Portugal.

Tomar is known for its rich history and outstanding architecture, including the Convent of Christ, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site. This convent was once the stronghold of the Templars. Tourists can visit it and learn more about the history of these famous knights.

Travelers should also visit the Castle of Tomar. This is another Templar site, built in 1160. Every four years a unique Festival of the Sevens takes place at this castle. On this day, girls carry tabuleiros (stacks of bread and flowers, crowned with a crown) on their heads and parade through the city. The last celebration took place in 2023, and the next is scheduled for July 2027.

Tomar is located a short distance from Lisbon, taking just over an hour by train. Therefore, tourists visiting the Portuguese capital will not find it difficult to take a trip to this ancient city.
