A full day in
the historic city
of Évora.
The city of Évora has itself been named a UNESCO World Heritage site.
A regional capital, Évora has one of the most incredible collections of historical sites in all of Portugal. A Roman temple dedicated to a God-Emperor; a Cathedral built in the wake of a Crusader victory; and a Franciscan chapel made of human bones.
Évora is a must-see that is just off the beaten path. Join us for an adventure you won’t soon forget on our full-day Évora History tour!
Tour highlights.
- Travel from Lisbon’s city center with first-class train seats through the scenic Alentejo countryside, full of cork and olive trees and the massive nests of majestic white storks.
- Explore the Roman Temple of Diana, recently discovered to actually be dedicated to the God-Emperor Augustus Caesar.
- Climb to the roof of the 12th century Romanesque Cathedral that dominates the nearby countryside.
- A three-course lunch at one of Évora’s best new restaurants, sampling some of Alentejo’s most famous produce: wines, olives, and cheeses.
- Wander the city streets through the rare Islamic-Andalusian era arcades.
- Visit the Capela dos Ossos, Évora’s famed Bone Chapel, a profound 17th Century reminder of the fragility of life.*
