Evora is the jewel of the Alentejo, a UNESCO-listed town where a Roman temple still stands in the centre, a chapel is lined with human bones, and the streets have barely changed in centuries. It sits about an hour and a half east of Lisbon, across the golden plains and cork oaks of the Alentejo, which makes it a rewarding day trip into a slower, older Portugal.
The Evora tours from Lisbon on this page are ones we picked by hand, the guides who bring the history and the wine country to life. Most pair Evora's old town, the Temple of Diana, the cathedral and the Capela dos Ossos with a stop at an Alentejo winery, since this is one of Portugal's great wine regions. A private trip lets you wander the lanes and taste at your own pace; a small-group tour keeps the cost down, with pickup in Lisbon on most. The drive through the cork-oak plains is part of the experience.
Go with an appetite, because the Alentejo eats and drinks well, and give the bone chapel and the Roman temple their proper moment. Evora rewards a slower day than the rush most tours allow.
3 Evora day trips from Lisbon from EUR 80. Handpicked guides, old town and Alentejo wine, private and small-group with free cancellation on most - easy to book online.
