Feel free to check our suggestion below for additional inspiration.
Get picked up from your accommodation and start your Évora private tour. Why not start at the very heart of the city – Praça do Giraldo (Giraldo Square).
The historical figure of Giraldo “The Fearless” conquered this ancient town from the Moors in 1166 and during the Middle Ages, Évora became one of the most important cities of the Portuguese Kingdom, especially during the Avis dynasty (1385-1580).
Next, we visit Temple of Diana. This Roman temple in Évora is one of the grandest and best-preserved Roman temples in the entire Iberian Peninsula, having been considered a world heritage site by UNESCO in 1986
Continuing your Évora Full-day private tour, you will visit Capela dos Ossos (Chapel of the Bones). This unique and sinister Chapel was built in the 17th century on the initiative of three Franciscan friars whose goal was to convey the message of transience and the fragility of human life.
Thousands of skulls and bones were used to decorate the walls and columns of this chapel and are worth a sight if you’re visiting Évora – provided you don’t fear the dead, of course!
After lunch, you can visit the Cathedral of Évora – founded in 1186. A fortified church with Gothic features, dedicated to Santa Maria, this is the largest medieval cathedral in the country. You can also visit the gothic cloister, dated 1325 and climb to the terrace, from where you can enjoy a beautiful panoramic view over the entire city of Évora, since the Cathedral is located at its highest point.
Returning to Lisbon, your driver will drop you off at your accommodation and this will complete your Évora full-day private tour.
We are proudly committed to the idea of not being strict to timings or specific plans and instead be flexible so that you can fully enjoy the day during your private tour.
