A tour of Évora, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1986. 

It is, par excellence, the ‘example’ of the Portuguese historic centre, with visible influences throughout the overseas territory. Évora owes its relevance to a millennial history that dates back to prehistory, with several remains from that period, such as the Cromeleque dos Almendres, Anta Grande do Zambujeiro, among many other megalithic sites. But history has overlapped, making it one of the most notable Roman cities in Lusitania - Ebora Liberalitas Júlia, with several remains, notably the Roman Temple, the baths, the wall and others.

It then became one of the major urban centres in the south of the Portuguese kingdom, a place where monarchs frequently visited and stayed. The Visigoths and Arabs also passed through here, leaving their mark in the form of the so-called ‘Mudejar style’. It later received the influence of humanism, and it was here that some of the first great architectural works of the Iberian Renaissance appeared, around 1530.

These various moments have turned it into a kind of heritage gem, which the centuries have adapted, but which retains an atmosphere of authenticity and monumentality that transforms it into a true “museum city”.

An Évora walking tour with Superb Tours will introduce you to the city, with a description of the places and monuments we pass by.

This is an incomparably richer experience than simply walking the streets with your eyes glued to a digital or paper guide, which will waste much of your time and leave many questions unanswered. 

With this tour, not only will you learn about its historical origins, but you will also have time to savour Alentejo cuisine in the city's many restaurants.
