Itinerary
A few facts about the town of Évora: it has 55,000 inhabitants; it is more than 2,000 years old; and it is under the designation of UNESCO. Within the walls of the wonderfully preserved town center are ancient Roman temples, medieval cathedrals, and narrow cobblestoned streets.
Start by visiting the Temple of Diana, the famed Roman temple that was dedicated to Augustus, emperor of Rome, and learn the changes it suffered through time.
Visit the grand Gothic Cathedral, built in the 12th century, and the medieval cloisters. Climb to the roof of the building to get a great view of the town and the surrounding countryside.
Check out the Chapel of Bones (Capela dos Ossos) inside the Church of St Francis. As the name suggests, the mysterious chapel is made up of human bones.
Enjoy some free time to explore the streets and city center of Évora, and have lunch in the excellent restaurants available.
Take a walk in Monsaraz and see the largest artificial lake in Europe, followed by a visit to Cromeleque dos Almendres before returning to Lisbon.

It was a very good trip and would recommend it to people interested in history. The day wouldn't have been as good without a great guide though. I was fortunate to spend the day with Alexander who is very knowledgeable and easy to get along with.
Jose was an incredible guide. Had great knowledge, so friendly and thoughtful. He shared a lot of history of Portugal. Would highly recommend this tour and tour guide.
Dear Amy Thanks for your kind review. We are happy for your satisfaction. Hope to see you soon again
This is a very relaxed, tour of Evora and Monsaraz. We were driven around in an VW ID.Buzz and the driver was very knowledgeable. I would recommend this day trip from Lisbon.
