Santarém District

The Santarém District is located right in the center of Portugal, its capital, Santarém, sits on a plateau on the banks of the Targus River about 40 miles from Lisbon and the endless blue of the Atlantic ocean. This beautiful area of Portugal has been inhabited since prehistoric times, so its deep historic roots seep through the surface of everything you see and touch. Charming towns with twisting cobbled streets and whitewashed buildings. Ancient churches in a multitude of denominations and stone castles with colorful gardens and plazas. The surrounding landscape is a stunning tapestry of plains, mountains and forests with an abundance of picture-perfect nooks for glampers. If you want to get lost in time in the warm and sunny center of Portugal, Santarém is waiting to take you away.
