Thank you, OneDayTours, for an adventure I'll never forget. Together with my husband we booked an experience to the iconic surfing sport of Portugal, combined with the most popular coastal cities, Peniche and Nazare, and got a great opportunity to see Portugal off the beaten paths. Don't miss your chance to try it!

Exceptional experience for foodies with One Day Tours. While traveling in Portugal, I got an authentic taste of the country from savoring wine in Setubal to exploring hidden spots of the region, every moment was a delight. I can't wait to embark on other adventures. Love it!

Highly recommended! I truly enjoyed Lisbon's downtown walking tour. The guides are professional and funny. The itinerary is well-thought to the smallest detail. I had a short time in Lisbon but could fit in uncountable impressions thanks to the One Day Tours team. Wish you growth and thankful clients!:)

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best day of the week to visit Evora?

Weekdays are the best days to explore Evora. Most attractions have fewer people, giving you ample time to explore and learn. Most people are free during the weekends, and you will find most popular attractions crowded, which is not ideal if you want to have a good time. If you want to buy a souvenir, the weekdays will also be suitable as the market is less crowded and you can walk around easily and get whatever you want.

Why is Evora special, and why does it deserve a visit at least once in a lifetime?

Evora is an ancient Portuguese city that was once a political and business capital. It was home to royalty and the seat of the court. The town also had a thriving business environment that attracted wealthy merchants. All these factors made it prosperous, leading to the construction of bridges, temples, the city wall, and even the aqueduct. These remain today, giving the city a lot of historical significance.

What are the must-see attractions in Evora for historical tours?

Evora has much to offer for a historical tour, and you will be spoilt for choice. The entire city is dotted with historical attractions, and the must-visit ones may depend on your preferences. But as a historical tourist looking to feed their spirit of adventure, below are some of the attractions you can afford to miss visiting, such as the Roman-era walls, Silver Aqueduct, the University of Evora, the Roman Temple, the Chapel of Bones and Almendres Cromlech.

What is the best way to see Evora?

The best way to explore and appreciate the various attractions in Evora is by foot. Most attractions are within walking distance of the city, and you can combine and visit several attractions along one walking route. Some of the popular attractions best explored on foot include the city's walls and the aqueduct. The aqueduct has a nature trail along it, which you can use to explore not only the aqueduct but also the landscape around it.

Can you visit Evora on a half-day historical tour?

It is not possible to visit Evora and explore all its attractions in half a day. You need at least two days. This period is enough to move around and visit most of the attractions. When on a group tour, you can extend the days to three because group tours tend to be slower. Half a day or even one day is not enough to make the most of the trip, and extending it to more than three days will overstretch the visit.

How safe is Evora?

Evora is a safe tourist destination with very friendly locals who are always willing to assist if they can. The law enforcement authorities also do a commendable job of patrolling areas frequented by tourists to maintain security. However, there have been a few incidents of petty crimes like snatching or car break-ins. Like in all tourist areas, always be aware of your surroundings and avoid secluded places.
