Leaving Lisbon by 25th de Abril bridge and driving along the relaxing plains of the Alentejo, we arrive at Évora, a city with a millenary history that goes back to prehistory.
Its historical Center is one of the most monumental in Portugal and that’s why it was classified as UNESCO World Heritage in 1986. Évora is therefore named Museum City.
After touring around the medieval walls, we will take a walking tour in one of the most remarkable Roman cities in Lusitania. We will visit the Roman Temple of Diana, but also the impressive Chapel of Bones in the Church of San Francisco, Geraldo Square and Évora Cathedral.
Local gastronomy is one of the great attractions. Évora is the ideal place to be introduced to traditional Alentejo food, which has pork and lamb, but also bread, on its base.
This tour has several optional stops, one of them is the visit – we need to book first – to the Adega da Cartuxa, famous for the Pera Manca, considered one of the best wines in Portugal.
