This month, we’re inviting you on a slightly different – and more budget-friendly – adventure to Évora! Instead of a private bus, we’ll be traveling just like the locals do: by public train or bus. It’s all part of the experience, and the journey through the Alentejo countryside is a beautiful one. Of course do car share or plan a trip to stay overnight to add to the experience.
Our tour officially begins at 10:30 at the Central Bus Station in Évora. Marie, our knowledgeable local guide, will take us on a captivating walking tour through the historic center of Évora. Highlights include the awe-inspiring Cathedral and the hauntingly beautiful Chapel of Bones — entrance tickets are included in the tour price.
For lunch you will receive a list of restaurant suggestions, and have free time to enjoy a relaxed meal and perhaps explore the local shops. In the afternoon we will regroup for your choice of two experiences:
- A free guided visit to the powerful and thought-provoking Inquisition Palace Exhibition
- Or a wine tasting featuring four distinctive Alentejo wines (additional €5, payable on the day)
We’ll aim to catch a return bus or train to Lisbon around 17:00, arriving back in Lisbon about two hours later. Martina will provide more info in advance of trip.
