Exploring Evora in a day means diving into Alentejo’s history, architecture, and legit local flavor. Here’s my one-day guide to this dreamy Portuguese city. Ыpoiler: it’s packed with Gothic towers, ancient bones, and Roman ruins!
Start your walk at Praca do Giraldo - the heart of Evora where eight medieval streets converge. Snap pics of the iconic fountain and chill under the plazas’ arcades, watching the city buzz.
Head next to the Cathedral of Evora. It’s Portugal’s largest cathedral! Don’t skip the rooftop climb - killer city and countryside views. Take your time wandering through its fortifications and monastery.
Stroll to the Roman Temple of Evora. This Instagram-made spot never disappoints! The ancient columns sit right atop the acropolis and are the must-see landmark of the Roman Forum.
Make your way to the Chapel of Bones. Whisper “creepy but beautiful” as you enter - walls covered in thousands of bones! In this way, the monks tried to show that everyone’s earthly life ends the same way and that one must think about the soul.
🍽️ There are many great places for dinner in the city center. Order the black pork- local, crazy tender, and totally worth it.
🛏️ Where to stay: Evora offers a huge variety of hotels. If you're looking for high-quality service and a stylish hotel in the city center, choose the Evora Olive Hotel.
💡 Pro tip: Evora’s center is best explored on foot; if you drive, park outside old town walls! Walk everywhere - Evora is compact and pedestrian-friendly.
