Evora Guided Tours

Evora is a UNESCO World Heritage city thanks to the numerous monuments and centuries-old buildings that still exist today. These have become tourist attractions as visitors come from far and wide to marvel at the ingenuity of the early inhabitants of the city and also appreciate their early way of life, including the tools they used and the food they ate.

You will need roughly two to three days for your trip to Evora to be counted as a success. This period will give you enough time to visit the city attractions without rushing through them. Attractions like the University of Evora require some time to move around the lecture halls and the different buildings in the university to understand its history better. Yet this is just one attraction. 

There are many attractions in Evora, some of which have more historical and cultural significance than others. This is not to take anything from any attraction. These must-see places attract more people, and you will likely find them crowded during tourist peak seasons, so book your tickets in advance to avoid standing in the queue for long. Some of the must-visit attractions include the University of Evora, Chapel of bones, Roman Temple, Silver Aqueduct, and the city wall.
