Évora Discovery Tour from Lisbon

Depart from Lisbon on a cultural journey to Évora, one of the most historic cities in the Alentejo. Founded by the Romans in 57 BC, Évora holds a rich heritage preserved across centuries.
Along the way, learn about the Moorish conquest of the city, whose influence remains visible in the historic center and explore the Manueline period when the Jesuits founded the university in 1559.
Visit an outstanding megalithic archaeological site, considered one of the oldest in Europe and admire the scenic Alentejo landscapes before arriving at Évora’s Roman Temple, located in the UNESCO-classified historic center.
Discover the Cathedral of Évora, built after the city was reconquered from the Arabs in the 12th century.
A highlight of the tour is the visit to the Chapel of Bones, next to the Church of St. Francis, where the walls are adorned with carefully arranged human bones and skulls.
This tour offers a complete insight into the history, culture and architecture of Évora preserved through the ages.
