Located in the centre of the country, Santarém is the capital of the Ribatejo. Easily accessible by road and rail, Santarém is renowned for bullfighting, its Gothic architecture and gastronomy. Here you will find an extremely rich historical and cultural heritage, from Roman ruins to 12th-, 13th-, and 14th-century churches, convents, and monasteries, from the Portas do Sol to the Porta de Santiago. Other highlights include the Railway Museum, the Campo Fernando Peralta museum, the Municipal Market, the Manueline Window in Praça Sá da Bandeira, and the Algar do Pena Cave, which is thought to have the largest underground chamber in Portugal.

Santarém stands atop a plateau with views over the fertile Ribatejo plain (lezíria), which produces livestock and crops. Its proximity to the fish-rich River Tagus explains why this region is renowned for its food. It is also well-known for its wine."
