Just 1.5 hours from Lisbon, Évora is one of the most beautiful cities in Portugal.
Located in the Alentejo region, it's known for its Roman history, medieval streets, great food and relaxed atmosphere. If you want to experience a different side of Portugal, Évora is an excellent day trip.
The historic centre has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1986, with centuries of history around every corner.
What to see in Évora
Roman Temple of Évora – One of the best preserved Roman temples in the Iberian Peninsula.
Chapel of Bones (Capela dos Ossos) – One of Portugal's most unusual monuments, built with thousands of human bones.
Évora Cathedral – The largest medieval cathedral in Portugal. Don't miss the rooftop for one of the best views of the city.
Praça do Giraldo – The heart of Évora, surrounded by cafés, restaurants and historic buildings.
Rua 5 de Outubro – A great street for local shops selling cork products, ceramics and traditional Alentejo crafts.
