Evora Food and Wine Tours

Evora is one of the oldest ancient cities in Portugal, where the Royalty once resided. It was also an economic hub that attracted many wealthy nobles. Due to these factors, the city enjoyed various infrastructural developments, including palaces, temples, bridges, and an aqueduct. These monuments and attractions stand still today, making the city a great destination to learn and appreciate Portuguese history and culture.

A food and wine tour to Evora includes lots of food and wine tasting as you try to appreciate the local delicacies and wines. What other ways would you sample their hospitality? But of all the available Alentejo delicacies, some are a must-try, and a visit here without tasting them is unforgivable. Below are some dishes you must try on your Evora trip, among which are Sopa de toucinho, Açorda à alentejana, Comida Alentejo, Açorda de marisco, and Queijadas de Évora.

Two to three days is the recommended period to visit and appreciate the attractions in Evora. There are many of them, and some require time to learn about them and appreciate their contribution to Evora's rich history. If you stay shorter than two days, the best option for you would be to get a ready-made tour. 

Yes, Evora is walkable, and walking is the best way to explore the city. You get to experience most of these attractions first-hand and appreciate them even more. Walk along on the cobblestone streets and see for yourself what the city has to offer. The ancient city walls and the Silver Aqueduct are attractions you will enjoy and appreciate more by walking along them.

Weekdays are the best days to visit and explore Evora. There are fewer crowds during these days, giving you ample time at the attractions. Most people see the city on weekends, sometimes causing congestion in popular tourist attractions. The market, especially, is crowded on Saturdays, and you will need help moving around to purchase items that may interest you.

Not really. It is a great tourist attraction that receives many visitors, but you don't get that overwhelming feeling when you walk on the streets. You will most likely notice groups of tourists walking around, but it doesn't give you that touristy feeling that characterizes some tourist destinations. Many attractions are spread across the city, which may be why Evora feels more touristy than if the attractions were located in one area.
