Tomar and the breath-taking "Parque Natural das Serras de Aire e Candeeiros"

In Chocogelataria Novalis you can taste delicious crêpes and homemade ice cream. Enjoy your breakfast, I'm sure you will!

You can't miss to visit the Mosteiro de Santa Clara-a-Velha! After being abandoned for more than 300 years by the nuns because of the floods, the gothic ruins of the monastery were restored and opened to public in the late 20th century.

Say goodbye to Coimbra and hello to Tomar! You will love this city, considered one of the most important historical centres of Portugal, since it was the last Templar town to be commissioned!

Tomar's Convento de Cristo was built in the 12th century as a Templar stronghold, then turned into the Knights of the Order of Christ in the 14th. You can notice a wonderful mix of Romanesque, Gothic, Manueline and Renaissance architectural styles.

On the way to Parque Natural das Serras de Aire e Candeeiros you can make a quick stop at this cute little café where you can get something to go. Remember to buy extra water, you're going to walk a lot and you could get thirsty!

Welcome to the mind-blowing Parque Natural das Serras de Aire e Candeeiros! This amazing park presents lots of underground galleries, caves, waterfalls...I'm sure you will fall in love with this place! Enjoy Mother Nature, the fresh air and all the splendid orchids varieties!

Once you drive back to Tomar, you may want to have a quick shower and then walk to Praça da República.

Praça da República is an apparently simple square which hides lots of symbols of the Templar influence. Have a walk around or just enjoy the view on one of the benches!

You must be starving! Right in the square you find the picturesque "Taverna Antiqua", a medieval-themed restaurant which will bring you back through history! You will have many options, ask for the daily special...you won't be disappointed.

This was a pretty busy day, I hope you had fun! After dinner you may want to sleep, I'll see you tomorrow!
