ÉVORA SIGHTSEEING TOUR
This tour invites you to know Évora, classified by UNESCO as a World Heritage City, due to its excellent preservation along the centuries. We can even tell you that little difference exist between walking in Évora today or some centuries ago. This town has been developing itself without losing its primitive characteristics. That’s why it deserved this “prize” from UNESCO.
After leaving Lisbon, we will drive to Évora by the countryside roads of Alentejo, for a beautiful sightseeing tour by car. In Évora, we will have enough time to walk in its historical centre and “feel” the atmosphere of this town. After reaching the walled city our guide will invite you to visit the enigmatic church of *St. Francis and its *Chapel of the Bones. The tour will continue up the narrow streets of the old town reaching the Giraldo square where the Inquisition once had its headquarters.
You will also have time to explore the millenium old Roman Temple and have a glimpse at the 12th century *cathedral. In the already distant 16th century Évora thrived with culture and tradition in its university as much as it still does today. During a short visit to the century old university courtyard you will understand why was Évora once the second most important city of Portugal.
After such an intensive cultural morning it will be time to enjoy the pleasures of one of the most creative cuisines of Portugal in some of the local "alentejano" restaurants that our guide will help you to choose. What we wish to offer you in this tour is, above all, the tranquility and a sample of the real Portugal, hidden very often by the crowded tours.
*Entrance-fees to the above with* marked monuments are included.
Duration: 8h30 - 18h30 (indicative only and adaptable)
