Charming Évora
per person
A City that is an Open Air Museum
Considered a World Heritage Site by UNESCO since 1986, Évora is the capital of the Alentejo. Évora is an open air museum with an unparalleled historical and cultural richness in Portugal.
Évora has a rich and varied cultural heritage, built and preserved over time. The imposing walls of the city keep not only those who have lived there for centuries, but also the exuberance of palaces, monasteries and churches that preserve its original characteristics, medieval streets and the exquisite palates of internationally known traditional cuisine.
And the wine? Alentejo wine won the heart of the Portuguese. The strong presence of wine and vineyard culture in the tranquil landscape of Alentejo and the history of Évora make a visit to the city never complete without sampling its traditional wines.
