Évora Tour - Full Day

Exiting from Lisbon, this tour will take you through the beautiful countryside roads of Alentejo up to Évora, the capital city of the region. Topped by an imposing cathedral, Évora is laid out over a gently sloping hill rising out of the huge Alentejo plain. Évora has a history of more than two thousand years old and Unesco classified the city a World Heritage Site. The Romans built the Ebora Liberalitas Julia and we can still see here their elegant temple. Dating back to the first century, the Roman Temple of Évora is the ex-libris monument of the city and it is one of the most important historic ruins in the country. Medieval vestiges can also be seen, such as the huge Romanesque-Gothic cathedral, the longest in Portugal or the Church of S. Francis with its spooky Bone Chapel. The afternoon is reserved for a very different experience: a visit to a wine cellar for some wine tasting. Return to Lisbon.
