In case you do not want to proceed to the aqueduct after your visit to the Convent of Christ (the aqueduct is about 4 km behind the convent), then you can walk up the hill. You will find access to the path from the main square. Facing the townhall pass it on the left. You will come along a park house entrance, pass it and go up the stairs which follow. You will now reach a street. Cross it, and take the cobble stone path. Think it is the old path to the convent. It will lead you directly to the parking of the convent. I walked up there and enjoyed it

Not exactly in Tomar but not very distant, this strange castle is often visited from Tomar. Standing alone in a small island in Tejo river, it is close to Tancos, the best place to take a boat for a trip along the river.
If you're short in time, you may watch the castle from the border of the river, or pay one euro to a popular driving the small local boats.

What does it have so special? Well... nothing for the moment! But... If I succeed in my plans... one day... very soon, maybe... it will be the place for some live demonstration of glass manufacturing. And historic glass! And modern... excuse-me, and forget my deviation.
Enjoy the garden. (furthermore... my plans failed. A pity!)

The church and castle are part of a complex from different epochs and in different condition.
South of the main building, a ruined structure still shows the old "Capitulo" room. Would it be possible to recover it?

The view from the aqueduct of the green surrounding valley is really serene. You can also find some off the beaten path bliss in the Mata Nacional dos Sete Montes (Seven Hills National Forest) located at the foot of the walls of the convent.

Tomar is completely off the beaten track. When I went, my friends and I were three of only four English speakers we found in the whole town. The tourists were Lisboetas up for the weekend. It's wonderfully enchanting to find a place without the tourist industry built up around it.
Tomar is magical. That's the only way I can describe it.

This old aqueduct, built in the 16th century and still visible from the convent and in some sections of its lenght of 6 km, was the supplier of water to the convent.

Tomar - pretty town with interesting convent
For me Tomar was my first stop on my second visit to Portugal. My plan was to make a roundtrip through the middle and south of the country connected to the plces I have already seen during my stay in...
Tomar is more than the nice convent with its famous window. Out of the easy circuit that allows "one day trips" from Lisbon, it needs a full day to be seen, but it deserves the day.
. This town was created and building began on the castle on the 1st of March in 1160 by order of the first Grand Master of the all-powerful Order of the Knights Templar in Portugal.One of the most......
