Tomar is a historic town in central Portugal on the Nabão river, best known as the headquarters of the Knights Templar and home to the UNESCO World Heritage Convento de Cristo. It sits on the IC3 and A23, about 135 kilometres north of Lisbon and 50 kilometres south of Leiria. London to Tomar is about 1,570 miles by road. Removal companies and moving companies cover the route via the Channel Tunnel or Brittany Ferries and the IC3 or A23 into Tomar.
A dedicated vehicle from London to Tomar takes 3 to 4 days. Part load removals take 10 to 21 days. Tomar is on the central Portugal corridor served by weekly groupage departures. It lies at the intersection of the IC3 north-south road and the A23 east-west road, making it a useful delivery point for the wider Ribatejo and Beira Baixa region. British buyers are drawn to Tomar for its medieval character, affordable property and the Zézere river valley countryside to the east.
Tomar town has good lorry access. The IC3 bypass keeps lorries off the town centre streets for most deliveries. The main access challenge is the Convento de Cristo area: the UNESCO castle and convent sit on a steep hill above the town, accessed via a single road with limited turning space near the summit. Properties on or immediately below the Convento hill require access confirmation. The town centre near Praça da República has some cobbled lanes but most residential Tomar is on standard accessible streets. The Zézere river valley east of Tomar has standard EN road access for most properties.
International Removals Companies is a free enquiry matching service operated by DATACONTEXT (UK) LTD (company 07425576). It does not carry out removals. It connects each Tomar enquiry with one suitable vetted FIDI-certified partner mover. The partner mover contacts you directly and provides the quote.

Tomar town and the residential zones around the IC3 and EN110 are accessible by lorry. The IC3 bypass keeps through traffic off the town centre. Avenida Norton de Matos and the main residential streets are wide and parking is generally available. The historic town centre near Praça da República and the riverside Nabão area have some narrower cobbled lanes. The Convento de Cristo hill road narrows significantly near the summit. Properties in the castle and convent area should have access confirmed before the partner mover finalises the quote.
The Zézere river valley to the east of Tomar runs through the Ribatejo into the Serra da Estrela foothills. Properties along the Zézere between Tomar and the Castelo de Bode reservoir are on the EN238 and EN349 with generally good access. The reservoir shoreline has some properties on tracks off the main road: confirm track surface and width before booking. For properties in the villages east of Tomar towards Ferreira do Zêzere and Abrantes, the EN110 and N348 provide adequate access for removal lorries.
