Tomar is charmingly situated just north of the lower Tagus on its tributary, the Nabao, in the fertile Ribatejo landscape of central Portugal, and is very popular with tourists on account of its mighty convent castle of the Knights of Christ.

The little Rio Nabao divides this attractive small
town into a west end and an east end, with the old center around the Praça da República west of the river and a lovely park on a sandbank in the river.
A winding road leads past the chapel of Nossa Senhora da Conceiçao up to the castle of the Knights of Christ, above the west of the town.
