We loved how 'uncontrolled' this site was, many tourist spots have all kinds of restrictions but this site offered the visitor total freedom. The Aquaduct is absolutely huge, rising about 100ft at its highest point. We walked on top to about the halfway point when we returned to the starting spot. Beware that on busy days there may only be 1 way traffic up there and there isn't a ton of room to social distance effectively. We're not engineers but clearly the construction we saw here is an amazing feat for the time frame in which it was built. The views are spectacular both from the top across the surroundings as well as from the bottom as you take in the entirety of the aquaduct.

This park, one of many beautiful green spaces in the city of Tomar, is exquisite. You can, if you wish, walk all the way up to the Convent on various pathways. If you do go to the park, you walk beneath old and pine trees and are surrounded by terraces, flowers galore, hedges, fountains and urns. A very beautiful and peaceful spot to sit a reflect for minutes, or hours, before setting out to sightsee again. It is certainly one of the most beautiful parks we visited on our trip. There is no admission charge as it is open to the public without charge.

Almost in front of the entrance of the raíl station you will see this museum. The access is free of charge. Inside there is a huge legacy of boxes, all times, all styles from countries around the world. Amazing & amusing

Just when you think that Tomar could not get any more beautiful or idyllic, you come to the Praca da Republica, where the Igreja Saint John the Baptist is found. The church is constructed and decorated in that 15th century Manueline style that is so common to the period. Very ornate ornamentation decorates the portal going into the church. There is a lovely bell tower too. Inside, tiles are arranged in a trompe l'oeil pattern and there is a very beautiful painting of the last supper. Just another very beautiful church in Portugal. Worth seeing.
