Car Hire Santarem - Mini guide to Santarem

Santarem

Santarem enjoys a strategic location on a hill above the Tagus river’s right bank. It is the ancient provincial capital of Ribatejo and is remarkable for its white painted houses.

The picturesque town houses several notable churches while the Tagus offers gorgeous scenic views. Santarem is also the main centre of a pivotal agricultural area, producing fruit, corn and vegetables. Several hotel establishments in the town provide online booking facilities.

Interesting for visitors is the annual agricultural festival, or Feira Nacional de Agricultura. The fair takes place in June and features bullfights and colourful folkloristic shows. One of the other main attractions is a nearby Christian site called Igreja da Grace which features some impressive Gothic architecture.

Also situated within a short distance and easy accessible by private hire car is the interesting archeological museum, Sao Joao de Alporao. This museum displays fascinating collections including significant artworks such as paintings, pottery, glass and porcelain works.

If you really wish to explore the surrounding region and its attractions, then we recommend you pre-book a rental car online as the local firms charge high car hire rates and often can’t offer you the type of car you want.
