Rua Serpa Pinto & Old Town
Rua Serpa Pinto (Corredoura)
A pedestrian main street linking Praça da República with the old bridge, known locally as the Corredoura, paved with Portuguese cobblestones and lined with old shops and cafés.
Rua Serpa Pinto, known locally as the Corredoura, is the main axis of Tomar's old town. At one end is Praça da República and the Church of São João Baptista, and at the other it leads to the old bridge over the Nabão River and Mouchão Park. The street is about 500 metres long. It has black-and-white stone mosaic paving, old buildings with wrought-iron balconies, and traditional pastry shops, where you can try Fatias de Tomar, a local egg-yolk cake. In summer and during festivals the street is often hung with colourful paper flowers, making it very photogenic. It can be enjoyed at any time of day.
