Description

Full-Day Tour from Lisbon: Discover the Historic & Scenic Beauty of Évora Embark on an unforgettable journey from Lisbon to Évora, one of Portugal’s most enchanting and well-preserved historical cities. This full-day tour takes you through the stunning Alentejo countryside, known for its golden plains, olive groves, and cork oak forests, before arriving in Évora—a UNESCO World Heritage Site brimming with ancient wonders. Highlights of the Tour: 1. Roman Temple of Évora (Templo de Diana) Your first stop is the iconic Roman Temple of Évora, one of the best-preserved Roman ruins in the Iberian Peninsula. Dating back to the 1st century AD, this majestic Corinthian-style temple was once part of the Roman forum and stands as a testament to Évora’s grand past. Recognized by UNESCO in 1986, it offers a glimpse into the city’s Roman heritage. 2. Évora Cathedral (Sé de Évora) Next, visit the imposing Évora Cathedral, a masterpiece of Gothic and Romanesque architecture. Climb to its rooftop for breathtaking panoramic views of the city and the vast Alentejo plains. Inside, admire its sacred art, intricate cloisters, and the revered Virgin Mary’s statue, a key piece of medieval devotion. 3. Chapel of Bones (Capela dos Ossos) & Church of St. Francis Step into the haunting yet fascinating Chapel of Bones, located within the Church of St. Francis. This macabre yet profound chapel is lined with the skulls and bones of over 5,000 monks, serving as a stark reminder of life’s transience. Its eerie inscription reads: 'We bones that are here, for yours await.' 4. Royal Palace & Praça do Giraldo Stroll through Évora’s historic center, passing by the remnants of the Royal Palace of Évora, where Portuguese kings once resided. Then, explore Praça do Giraldo, the city’s lively main square, lined with charming cafés, artisan shops, and a 16th-century marble fountain. Enjoy free time here to savor traditional Alentejo cuisine—perhaps a delicious porco preto (black pork) dish or a glass of local wine. 5. Almendres Cromlech (Portugal’s Stonehenge) Venture outside the city to the mysterious Almendres Cromlech, a Neolithic stone circle older than Stonehenge. This 7,000-year-old megalithic site, hidden among cork trees, was an ancient astronomical observatory. Walk among the standing stones, some engraved with symbolic carvings, and ponder the rituals of Europe’s early civilizations.
