Description

Explore the highlights of this charming town! We’ll start at its oldest church, preserving remnants of the Roman city of Sellium. Next, we’ll learn about the town’s patron saint, St. Iria, and cross the Nabão River, earning the locals the nickname "Nabantinos."

Strolling through the historic center, we’ll visit Café Paraíso, one of Portugal’s oldest coffeehouses. On the main square, discover the statue of D. Gualdim Pais, Grand Master of the Templar Knights and founder of the castle, whose construction began on March 1, 1160. From here, admire the city hall, formerly King Manuel I’s palace, and the main church dedicated to Saint John the Baptist.

Tomar is also home to Portugal’s oldest synagogue, built in the early 15th century. While it no longer serves a Jewish community, it now operates as a fascinating museum.

Let’s lose ourselves in the history and charm of this unique town!

Wonderful Tomar Tour

My tour of Tomar was so educational and fun. Monica was wonderful — Kind and knowledgeable! She not only showed me the town and the history, but also a few of the best places for pastries, coffee, and lunch. And even gave me ideas for seeing the surrounding area. I highly recommend this tour with her. ❤️

Walking Tour in Tomar

We had the privilege of having Monica all to ourselves for this tour. She was engaging and knowledgeable and didn’t rush through her tour. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. She even helped recommend some restaurants to us as we were clueless on which eateries were good.
