Exclusive Private Évora Day Trips from Lisbon
Day Tour
Évora is the rare town where the historic layer is the daily layer. Romans, Moors, Templars, monks, and royalty all left their mark, and yet the city still wakes up to bread deliveries and grandparents walking children to school. We bring guests in by the back roads, park outside the walls, and walk in like locals.
The Roman temple at first light
When timing allows, we arrive early to see the second century temple of Diana before the day groups appear.
The Chapel of Bones
A quietly powerful sixteenth century chapel that puts the rest of the day in perspective.
The old Jewish quarter and cathedral
Narrow lanes, the granite cathedral, and the rooftop view across the surrounding plain.
Optional wine pairing
A single Alentejo estate visit can be folded in for guests who want to round the day with a lunch and a tasting.
Back to Lisbon by early evening
The drive is about ninety minutes each way, which is what makes Évora the most rewarding day trip from Lisbon after Sintra.
