4 Things to See in Tomar

A peaceful city, a train ride away from Lisbon, Tomar sits quietly nestled about a third of the way up to Porto. It is unassuming, calm, quaint and, in the autumn, bursting in a delightful array of seasonal colours that bring a smile to any visitors face.

From Lisbon, a two and a half hour train ride brings you straight into the heart of Tomar and in walking distance of truly wonderful sightseeing. Bring your camera, comfortable walking shoes for the cobblestoned hills and look forward to a day of charm.

Here's what I saw on my day out in Tomar:

Seven Hills National Forest

While not the most kept garden, in the fall, the colours of the trees and the view you can get from the city here while you make your way to the convent are lovely to see. There are four trails marked through the gardens; the blue and the red both lead to the convent.
