Description of the Evora tour

A day trip to Evora Portugal is like traveling back through two thousand years of culture, architecture, and tradition, without ever leaving the charm of the countryside.
The journey begins with a hotel pick-up in Lisbon and a drive through the rolling hills of the Alentejo region. As you arrive at the walled city of Evora, you’ll step into a place where Roman ruins meet medieval towers, and whitewashed houses glow under the southern sun.

Your local guide will lead you through Evora’s old town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site filled with history. You’ll visit the iconic Roman Temple, the massive Evora Cathedral, and the unforgettable Bone Chapel inside San Francisco Church, lined with real human bones and skulls, it’s eerie, meaningful, and utterly unique among Evora things to do.

You’ll dine in one of the area’s most authentic restaurants when it’s time for lunch. Evora is famous for its cuisine, and your guide will help you choose a place where traditional Alentejo recipes shine, from slow-cooked pork to regional cheeses and bold wines.

In the afternoon, the tour continues beyond the city walls as you follow scenic backroads to visit a working cork factory. Portugal is the world’s leading cork producer, and you’ll learn firsthand how cork is harvested, processed, and turned into everything from bottle stoppers to fashion accessories.

This is a deep cultural dive into the heart of Evora Portugal, guided by locals and full of authentic moments.
