The 38 best places to go out in Evora

A fascinating and eerie place in the heart of Évora! The Chapel of Bones is covered with thousands of real human bones and skulls — built by monks in the 16th century to remind people that life is short. It’s both spooky and beautiful at the same time. Definitely a must-see when visiting

The chapel lined with bones is a truly unique experience that makes you reflect on the transience of everything. So many lives lived, so many stories that will never be told... The nativity museum is really interesting too, especially seeing how it was interpreted by different cultures. Would definitely recommend a visit!

I think it's a bit expensive for what it is. It's small, but really a unique chapel. The chapel is super crowded. Wasn't really interested in the Nativity Scene museum; the Chapel is what's up. I had Black Sabbath playing in my ear buds which was perfect so if you're a fan of metal or goth, this is for you.

Very interesting ossuary. I paid in cash based on what is in other reviews to avoid frustration. 6 euro entry seemed a little much considering how small it is, but it's a tourist attraction so. The use of the bones is very interesting and used in nice patterns.

Small chapel with all the walls covered with human bones, skulls and different parts. There is also a mummy. There is also a small part upstairs with a balcony for some views. While it is indeed impressive and something unique, in my opinion it is overpriced (6€ for 20-min visit) for the tiny room where the bones are. Everything else just feels like a filler.

Spooky? It’s a place to visit, if you’re in town. The history behind and its fast visit not boring, and you can see also Nativity scenes from all around the world showcasing different art styles which were lovely to see.

This is a great place to see. It's not very big. Maybe take a few minutes there but you can stay as long as you want. Along with visiting the chapel, there is also 2 floor level to visit including a balcony that you can look out on the small square center. If you park in the square, parking fee is required with a max of 4 hrs. If you park outside the square, no fee for parking. After visiting the chapel, the church is connected right beside it. You can visit, no cost. Not much in Evora to do, however you can make it a day trip just by walking around and exploring. Lots of unique streets to explore. Restaurants are great and lots of places to buy souvenirs

A Remarkable Surprise in the Heart of Évora Our visit to the Roman Temple of Évora turned out to be one of the unexpected highlights of our trip. After exploring the site, we sat just south of the temple at a small nearby bar, enjoying a cold beer and a glass of wine in the sunshine a perfect setting to take in the view. The temple itself, with its beautiful surroundings and remarkably well-preserved columns, carries an incredible story. It’s hard to believe it’s still standing after centuries of history and change. The fact that it’s completely free to visit made it feel like even more of a hidden gem. Honestly, it felt like a bit of good luck that we stumbled upon such a special place in such a relaxed and charming way. Absolutely worth a visit if you find yourself in Évora you won’t be disappointed.

A stunning and beautiful piece of history, this is one of the iconic sites that can be found within the city and is one that you need to visit when here. It is really impressive and great to walk around and appreciate.

Beautiful and historic place in the heart of Évora! The Roman Temple — often called the Temple of Diana — is almost 2000 years old and one of the best-preserved ancient monuments in Portugal. Great spot for photos, especially at sunset! You can really feel the history here. Highly recommend visiting

Probably my favourite place to visit in Evora. Iconic stop. Ancient Corinthian columns from the 1st century, right in the historic centre, free to see any time. You must visit it while in Evora

Had more fun driving in the tiny streets of Évora! Temple is great. Easily accessible and free to view/walk up to. No tickets needed - only if you want to go inside the church, and that’s up to you. Awesome to see something like this well preserved and still standing.

This seemed a little out of place walking through town to stumble across, but it was magnificent to see. We were fortunate enough to walk by at night with it all illuminated, very impressive! These are the interesting things you can find when travelling through old towns in Europe, makes it very unique.

Really cool temple that's survived over two millennia, definitely a must see if you're in Evora.

Everything about this cathedral exceeded my expectations. The striking architecture, remarkable history, and breathtaking views from the rooftop made the visit unforgettable. Climbing up is well worth it, the panorama over Évora is magnificent. A must-see when exploring the city.

A stunning piece of architecture and one of the highlights of my trip. This is a beautiful site that is well worth visiting and the opportunity to climb to the roof provides breathtaking views of the city. There is a small museum included in your entry ticket and this is a fantastic site that you can spend lots of time at and not get bored.

If you visit the town of Era, Portugal, I recommend you visit the cathedral there for several reasons. First of all, we have seen many, many cathedrals in our travels, but this one is special. To be honest, my favorite part was walking around the roof of the cathedral, a unique experience! And of course, the altar and nave were beautiful, as you can see in the photos. Also amazing is that construction was started in the year 1280, still standing and in good condition.

Évora is a stunning town, and at its heart stands the magnificent Cathedral of Évora, perched on a hilltop like a crown jewel. The town itself feels like stepping back in time narrow cobbled streets, ancient walls, and a peaceful, almost magical medieval atmosphere that wraps around you the moment you arrive. The cathedral is an awe-inspiring structure, both inside and out. Its Gothic architecture is beautifully preserved, and climbing to the roof rewards you with sweeping views of the surrounding countryside. From every angle, it’s easy to see how this cathedral became the focal point of such a historic town. It’s hard not to like all of it. The quiet charm, the rich history, and the way everything centers so naturally around the cathedral make Évora an unforgettable place to visit. Highly recommended for lovers of history, architecture, or anyone looking for a peaceful escape into Portugal’s past.

The cathedral offers stunning vistas of Evora and the plains of the Alentejo. The best views are on the rooftop accesible via the towers. We recommend visiting in the late afternoon (4PM or later) This way you can catch the golden hues of sun entering the cathedral and shining upon the high choir. Please honor the reverence of this space with silence. Photography allowed in all area except the treasure room with sacred relics.

Stunning cathedral with amazing views from the rooftop! Évora Cathedral is one of the most impressive monuments in the city — a mix of Romanesque and Gothic styles. Climb to the top for a beautiful panoramic view of Évora and the Alentejo region. Peaceful, historic, and absolutely worth a visit!

Absolutely gorgeous. Visited at a quite Sunday. Only a few people there and really enjoyed the whole experience. Beautiful architecture, nice view of the town. Really cool experience to walk on the roof. All for four euro entrance fee and kids are free. Strongly recommend it!

Loved it here. It was definitely worth the drive on the rough road to get here. Loved the energy. Such a cool space that many wouldn’t enjoy but big energy space and a lot of history.

We visited this site: the walk is quite long since it’s best to leave the car at a distance. The road to get there is in very poor condition, so you really need to drive slowly to avoid damaging the car. The archaeological site itself is nice – there’s nothing around it, but it’s still an interesting place to visit.

From the top car park its only a short walk. A much much longer walk from the other lay by area. Easy to misunderstand which one your going to look at due to the poor information. The stones themselves definitely need more information to tell the story behind it. The road up on small dirt bikes was excellent fun but cars need to take it steady.

Great piece of history! The drive is tricky though. You will need a decent car there are a lot of potholes! Worth the visit though!

Stones from 5,000 B.C. It's a climb up a very narrow bumpy road from the interpretive center, biking it was probably easier than driving. The stones are amazing and there are views across the plains all the way to Evora in the distance.

You can access to this mystic place by car , of course the road is not a good one but with cautious driving you will get there. I call it a Portuguese Stonehenge , I believe it is worth a visit . There’s free parking lot and lots of cork fields .

Road washed out, so is closed off further back from the usual car park. The extra walk thru cork forests into the stones puts you in the right frame of mind though. Beautiful site. So many stones. Worth the walk and rough dirt road.

It was okay. Nice to see it and walk in to main area. See houses and street built in between. Arch gets smarter n smarter as u go up n up

During a quick evening walk, we stopped by the Água de Prata Aqueduct, and it was truly an impressive sight. Unlike many famous aqueducts, this one wasn’t built by the Romans but dates back to medieval times around the 1530’s if I’m not mistaken. It’s a remarkable piece of engineering that still stands proudly, stretching across the landscape with a quiet elegance. While it doesn’t appear to be lit up at night (which is a bit of a shame), it’s absolutely worth walking past, especially to appreciate its scale and historical significance. Even with just a short visit, it left a strong impression simple, grand, and a wonderful reminder of human ingenuity.

Fine looking aqueduct nothing really special compared to other examples through Europe. More impressive things to see in the town but it is a quick stop right outside the walls and you probably have to drive under it anyway to get to the rest of town. The way houses built into the arches inside the wall is a little cool

It is a really old aqueduct, built back in the 16th century, over 480 years ago! The aqueduct brought water to the city from springs about 18 kilometers away. Part of this structure runs underground, and part is visible as large stone arches, between which houses and shops were later built. This place is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and it is one of the most famous attractions in Évora. If you come to Portugal, you should definitely visit this amazing historical place! 💧🇵🇹

This is a very cool structure running through the town. It's hundreds of years old and as it runs right through the centre of town, it has been incorporated into many of the houses and shops, rather than it being torn down. Definitely an amazing site to take in as you explore the town.

These aqueducts are an iconic piece of history and scenery for Evora and they are a fantastic site to visit. They provide a stunning piece of history and photographic opportunities.

Ancient Roman aqueduct in Evora that short walk from the Roman temple ruins. Say 10 mins walk. No need to buy tickets. Quite unique to see as it was built into the houses and residential areas. Worthy a visit. Cobble stones pavement areas. Be careful as you walk.

The church is cool but the palace is pretty sparse, if they sold separate tickets it would be nice but as is, I don’t think it’s worth the price of admission.

Palácio dos Duques de Cadaval Type: palace, museum Price: 6 EUR (palace + Igreja de São João Evangelista) Time spent: 40 min WC: available Path for disabled: not available for the Palace Parking: available, small Bike parking: not available Entrance: follow the picture - enter from the main street, turn right and go upstairs, go to the location of a restaurant, but on the 2nd floor, turn left Currently there is a modern art exhibition in the museum. There you can understand how good your children's paintings are.

The church is pretty, the palace itself is just an old house with a repository of old stuff. The walls and ceiling could use a much needed lift and humidity is taking its toll.

A nice area to visit and explore when in the city, lots of the main sites of the area can be found here and it is worth spending some time around here.

Came it was closed. Launch break? Ok. Schedule not updated :-( also no sigh of entrance 🤷‍♀️if you come using google maps door are closed No I DID NOT JUST COMPLAINT!!! I CAME THERE WHERE NO SIGHNS. I ASKED AT THE RESTORANT WE WATED. WENT TO THE TOWN CAME BACK EVERYTHING WAS CLOSED OH YES THE CHURCH WAS CLOSED TOO. I WOULD NEVER JUST COMPLAINT

Never did find the entrance to the palace. Lots of people wandering around looking for it. Signage is non-existent. I think its closed between 1 and 2 for lunch, like the church.

BEAUTIFUL CHURCH/CHAPEL, THE HOUSE/PALACE HAS A NICE COURTYARD AND SOME LOVELY ROOMS. WORTH A LOOK AROUND.

A cute small square in Evora. It felt like the main square in town. Many places to eat or drink something. I would recommend to drink around the Square, yet pricing of the restaurants nearby did not seem fair, honestly. You can enjoy the square, visit the church, and continue your way to the famous Cathedral.

We stopped by Praça do Giraldo in Évora on a beautiful Sunday afternoon, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The square was bathed in full sunshine, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere that made us want to linger. Tables and chairs were scattered around the square, so we grabbed a small drink and just sat back to take it all in the historic surroundings, the gentle buzz of people passing through, and the elegant Geraldo Fountain right at the center. It’s a great place to pause and enjoy the rhythm of the town. Highly recommended for a leisurely stop, whether you’re sightseeing or just looking to soak up the local atmosphere in a beautiful setting. A lovely moment in Évora.

A nice fountain in a lively square, the fountain does not always have water in it but it is still a nice site to see when in the area.

Beautiful plaza where you can sit down and eat some brunch.

So much better - cleaner - now that the public don't feed the pigeons (but you can see them on the rooftops).

Very nice town for photography. Especially the weather is quite nice and sunshine is beautiful on Sep.

Beautiful square with wonderful tile work. Lots of wonderful people watching. Have a meal here and enjoy being a moment in time in such an historical place.

Nice samples from many top watch makers like JLC, IWC, Seiko, Rolex. Very small museum with entrance price that reflects it.

For those of us who are clock people, this is a nice, if brief, moment in your day. Clocks and watches in two small rooms. I kinda liked it but my wife stayed away.

Very interesting and valuable collection with tons of history not only on the watches but on the museums itself something watch enthusiasts look for. The staff was very knowledgeable and helpfull 10/10

small. 2 rooms packed with all kind of clocks. mostly from the past 50 years.

QUIRKY LITTLE MUSEUM OF WATCHES, CLOCKS, AND TIMEPIECES AND A HISTORY OF TIMEKEEPING. DROPPED IN FOR A LOOK AND FOUND A FEW UNUSUAL PIECES. INTERESTING.

Very interesting it is highly recommend. The privately owned Museu Relógio has stood the test of time and has such a high number of visitors that is not public funded. Both Serpa and Évora museums are only posible due to the family hard work and dedication and watch repair experts.

In here, also have a coffee shop name Art Café that really good design and when you sit and drink somethings in here, your feeling can relax with the soft music from the window. Free Wi-Fi and toilet.

Our visit to Cavalariça Évora was nothing short of exceptional. Opting for the tasting menu, we were taken on a beautifully curated culinary journey that showcased the chef’s mastery of flavors and technique. Each course was perfectly executed, balanced, and thoughtfully paired with exquisite wines that elevated the experience even further. The service was impeccable—hospitable, attentive, and genuinely passionate. The staff took the time to explain each dish and wine pairing, adding depth to our appreciation of the meal. Their warmth and professionalism made the evening even more memorable. From the first bite to the last sip, everything was flawless. If you’re looking for an extraordinary fine dining experience in Évora, this is a must-visit. I would absolutely return and highly recommend it to anyone seeking a refined and unforgettable meal.

The chef’s tasting was a culinary adventure. One of the best meals I’ve had in all of Portugal. The staff was extremely attentive and the chef extraordinarily talented. Highly recommend!

Recommended by a local. Didn't disappoint us. We tried the tasting menu Moments 7 course dinner. The staff explained in details every dishes. They are using in season fresh ingredients and change menu accordingly. You won't know what you will get until they serve you. Just one warning, the portion can be a lot compared to usual fine dining. Definitely a restaurant that worth revisit.

Exceptional food with some really surprising flavors. The tempura vegetables were unbelievable. The lamb empanadas were outstanding, but the real star is the chimichurri sauce that comes with it. On the mains, the ravioli was perfect. The migas might be my favorite dish in Portugal. You just save room for the soufflé dessert. It’s pretty epic. The service was top-notch. A very impressive restaurant.

We’ve been going to Cavalariça Comporta since ‘17 and have been to the Evora location 3-4x. Yday we had lunch in Evora on a boiling hot day and didn’t want a big meal. Cavalariça was spot on with a lighter menu than we expected with great summer dishes (e.g., lettuce wrap with veggies, beetroot salad and a dessert of citrus / honey / chamomile ice cream). Gr8 service and very reasonable prices for the quality of the food. Obrigado Team Cavalariça👏🏻

We had a very nice lunch here in October 2025. Place was recommended by our hotel, and it cannot be more conveniently located. The menu is more modern than some, which was a nice change of pace. Highly recommended.

5-star experience from the amazing staff and service, to the vibe, and incredible food. They use local, seasonal, organic ingredients and you can taste the thoughtfulness in every dish. The menu is creative, fun, and truly delicious, pairing flavors and techniques from around the world. Portions were appropriate and well priced for the quality. Can’t recommend enough.

Stunning collection of relics. I particularly enjoyed the electric whisk circa 2015. It's fascinating to imagine how ancient civilizations whisked their foodstuffs.

An excellent collection. Well organised. The work for sale by local craftspeople is very good and the prices are affordable. Highly recommended.

I particularly enjoyed the bic pen from 2006 and the 2012 hairdryer. Honorary mention to the old boot.

(Translated by Google) Small museum on crafts very good but you should not buy tickets for the day because it only counts for the museums of the city of Evora and not for the national or private museums and not for the Duques de Cadaval palace despite it being in the brochure A word of advice go to the tourist office because do girado (Original) Petit musée sur l’artisanat très bien mais il ne faut pas acheter de billets pour la journée car sa ne compte que pour les musées de la ville d’Evora et pas pour les musées nationaux ou les privés et pas pour le palais Duques de Cadaval malgré qu’il es dans la brochure Un conseil allez à l’office du tourisme parce do girado

(Translated by Google) We arrived around noon, with an hour to go before lunch break. We were denied entry because the person in charge had to go to an appointment. We're fine with her going to her appointment whenever she wants, but please find someone to cover for her so that the advertised times are respected. (Original) Chegámos perto das 12 horas faltando ainda uma hora para o fecho de almoço. Foi-nos interdita a entrada porque a pessoa responsável tinha que ir a uma consulta. Por nós tudo bem que vá a consulta no horário que quiser mas que arranjem alguém que a substitua de forma a que os horários anunciados sejam respeitados.

(Translated by Google) Interesting, craft items and old utilities. It is also possible to see some electronics that certainly many people do not know how it began. (image, household appliances and office machines) (Original) Interessante, artigos de artesanato e utilidades antigas. É possivel ver tb alguma eletrónica que certamente muitas pessoas não conhecem como começou. ( imagem, electrodomésticos e maquinas de escritório)

(Translated by Google) It consists of a small, poorly lit space where the first half is made up of handicrafts made from worn-out pieces and the second half is made up of pieces (typewriters, cameras, etc.) from the 1930s to the 1960s, mostly foreign, which surprised me with their modernity, I would even say futurism. It ends with a 1960s Vespa. It takes less than 1/2 hour and costs €2 for adults. (Original) Consiste num espaço pequeno e mal iluminado em que a 1a. metade é artesanato de peças desgastadas e a 2a. parte por peças (máquinas de escrever, fotográficas, etc) entre os anos 30 e 60, sobretudo estrangeiras, que me surpreenderam pela sua modernidade, direi mesmo futurismo. Finaliza com uma vespa dos anos 60. Faz-se em menos de 1/2h e custa 2€ adultos.

Heaven on Earth! Absolutely fantastic place! I love everything about it! Exquisite cakes, great coffee and simple yet original interior! I love that the lady of the house is still running the place, the fact she speaks zero english and all! Simply one oh my happiest places to always come back too!

Really sweet spot (pun intended)! Just a few tables, what gives a comfy feeling. If you like almond and egg sweets, it’s a MUST! The service was great and the prices are fair.

Stopped by for a quick bite before heading out to Porto. There was a food selection of pastries and breads, with a good view from the patio. We weren’t prepared for everything to be so sweet. The coffee helped!

Cute, local pastry shop with some delectable Alentajo treats. Definitely a must when you are visiting Évora!

I came here for breakfast today and tried a few items as I wanted to have something for the train back to Lisbon. The smaller egg and sugar sweet was good. The other two tart type items were just ok to me.

My favourite place in town! There's no better place to stop and have a coffee and a cake. The owners are super friendly and such lovely people! This place has and will always have a place in my heart.

6 out of 5, honestly. Everything was so delicious and clearly made with care and great knowledge. Stop by to enjoy some doctors sweets!

During our stop over in Évora, we explored the city center because it was walking distance from our hotel. We visited the church and it was a great experience. The architecture was indeed beautiful. It is free to visit this church.

This beautiful small church is attached to the chapel of bones. The outside the beautiful and so is the inside. It's a great stop as your're exploring the surrounding area and the best part is, it's free. It's not very busy and depending on when you get there, you could be the only one in the church

A church with a stunning indoor design!! The azulejos on the walls, the black and white stones through the roof, and the characteristic structure of the roof lines. It was totally worthy to visit and no entrance fee was needed. Unlike some churches in Evora, it was open on Sunday. I definitely recommend to visit.

I am always amazed at the architecture. Definitely worth checking out as it is next door to Chapel of Bones. Lots to look at and admire.

Such a beautiful place to visit. All the work that went into this place is breathtaking. A must see

A really nice church with some stunning details inside. This is a nice spot to visit when in the area.

This is a beautiful church, with lots to see. Perhaps most well known is the Chapel of Bones, but ironically, it was the place where my family and I spent the least amount of time. It's fascinating, but only a single room. So in some ways, it was a bit disappointing. However, upstairs there is a huge collection of nativity scenes from all around the world. There are hundreds of them, and it was absolutely amazing to see the different styles and interpretations of nativity scenes from different cultures. I eventually got tired, but my daughter would have easily spent hours looking at them all. I had to shuffle her along. There is also a very small museum with paintings and other artifacts to view. This is a great place to spend an afternoon. I came wanting to see the Chapel of Bones, not knowing any of the other things that were here, but I enjoyed everything else immensely. The church itself is free to visit, while entering the Chapel of Bones requires the purchase of a ticket, which also includes seeing the nativity scenes and the museum. It's very reasonably priced and well worth it.

Good food with a mix of Italian and Portuguese cuisine, based on locally sourced ingredients. The portions are small, but the waiter explained the concept at the beginning, letting us know that the dishes are meant to be shared. So we weren’t surprised. Everything was tasty, both the food and the wine. We were lucky to get a table without reservation, however it’s better to reserve in advance. The place is small and we saw some people who couldn’t get in without reservation.

The menu changes based on the available ingredients. Everything was delicious. The service was wonderful. The food comes out as it is completed and is meant to share. We ordered the asparagus, the aged black pork, the cheese and chard pasta in sage butter and the carbonara. We had a delicious chocolate mouse with salt and olive oil. I would eat that whole meal again once a week.

Menu based on seasonal products and meant to share, so portions are small. The flavour is amazing, we tried almost everything that was available. The service was a bit slow. The inside is very small, so only option was outside in a very warm summer night, not the best… nevertheless, a great culinary experience

A great spot to enjoy dinner in one of Évora’s charming alleyways. We had tuna tartare, steak tartare, carbonara pasta and agnolotti pasta. Everything was fresh and delicious. The carbonara, in particular, was exploding with flavor and the pork was crispy as opposed to the rubbery texture you can sometimes find with that dish. They also had some great kombucha offerings that were not sweet, which I really appreciated. Absolutely worth a visit.

Fantastic farm to table experience! We had some 45 days dry aged pork which was an absolute first. The beef tartare was divine and the zuchinis full of flavors! Highly recommend

This was the best meal we have had in quite some time. Quality products and so well cooked and presented. I will be back asap❤️

Amazing food from start to end! Seasonal ingredients cooked expertly! A must stop if you go to Evora!

The cafe and especially the seating in the courtyard under the trees is beautiful. A pity the staff didn’t know how to prepare a decent cortado and cappuccino. The food ist tasty, but the portions too small and it took more than 40 minutes to prepare it.

Nice place for lunch. They now have a lunch menu with vegetarian, meat and fish options. Had a pork (secretos) with gijon mustard and local mushrooms and it was absolutely great. The portion was good but there wasn’t sides for it - had a big bread basket with olive oil for starters. Vibe is hipster in a medium square - it wasn’t busy but enough people to feel comfortable. Had to taste deserts as well and they are all done in house. The cheesecake was very tasty and with a decent portion. Would definitely be back for breakfast as their toasts and pancakes looked great.

Easily the best lunch of our holiday (and we had quite a few very good lunches). The dried fish platter, grilled mackerel with mango and the grilled peaches with cottage cheese were amazing. For drinks we had coffee and a really good watermelon shake.

This is the cutest and most lovely place with wonderful, healthy and freshly made food choices and refreshing beverages. The vegetarian steak was delicious. It consisted of hummus and vegetables with amazing spices. The salad and chips served with it were delicious as well. The breakfast menu looked yummy and they offer various coffee drinks. My cappacino was good though I would've liked a slight bit of sweetener and cinnamon added in. The view at the window is so sweet and the outdoor seating is nice as well. The service was pleasant.

Great for a quick bite in Évora. Good pork sandwich (very rich, heavy on cheese), decent tuna sandwich (a bit dry). Quality greens, good variety of pickles. Fresh juices. Service is kind.

Very nice cafe, food was all made to order, homemade bread was delightful, we had the yogurt bowl with fresh herbs, berries, local organic honey, oats and coco nibs, it was very good! My husband had the original pancakes with honey and cinnamon and they were also good - coffee was great as well as the service ! Highly recommend!

Really lovely food, all made with care and far more attention to detail than would be expected from a cafe! Absolutely delicious; inspirational use of herbs. The owner was lovely as well. Make sure to try the cakes!

I spent a few minutes in this public garden of Evora. The garden is big and clean. It has few benches to enjoy the sun. It will be a great place to do a picnic.

Definitely a great place to visit while in Évora. Really nice spot to relax in the city. Lots of shade, quiet paths, and even peacocks wandering around which is pretty cool. Close to the main sights, so it’s an easy stop while exploring Évora.

A stunning garden with a great scenic walk around it. This is a great space to enjoy the outdoors and there is a lot of very interesting wildlife to be found throughout.

Great park, very spacious. Interesting buildings, ponds, statues, benches and a kiosk with seating. Nice for spending a relaxed afternoon. Was going through some renovations and upgrades when I visited, but still great.

While on vacation, we visited this region and were was amazed. This sprawling garden immerses you in history and nature. The people were very helpful and friendly. Also a short walk to other sites, shops, and restaurants.

The Public Garden is a place I will definitely recommend you to visit. There is nothing better than watching the peacocks running and walking next to you.It's very quiet and clean place that you can sit and relax while drinking your coffee.

Lovely public park in the Romantic style. Lots to see and great places to take photos or just sit and enjoy the environment.

A great over look site for the city of Evora and its countryside. One may walk a loop on the top to fully enjoy the views

Quite nice place near Évora with some remnants of windmills and solid outlook to the countryside. Highest hill in Évora surrending.

Beautiful sightseeing of the city

Nice place to get some pankramic views of Evora. Got there by car. Nothing else to do up there though.

Just a short drive out of town with nice views and interesting windmill. Worth a quick stop!

Good spot for sunsets and hikes

Peaceful place surrounded by windmills! If you come here alone you will find a kind of serenity that is seldom found in any city or village. Do you have things to think about? Problems to solve? This is the place! Just sit in one of the rocks and watch the great planes and Évora on the distance... the answers will come to you!

Best food ever!! Place is small only 8 persons eating at the balcony. Everything is amazing… PERFECT place to go!!

Amazing sea bass! Great service! Wine was on point. We also got roasted cheese. Sardines looked amazing too. Definitely recommend.

I write this in English to reach the largest number of people possible, this is a very small place, with only 8 seats, not at a table, but at a counter, and it was one of the most amazing experience I've ever had at a restaurant! Being a restaurant, one needs to mention something about the food, which was absolutely fabulous, delicious, definitely one of the best meals I ever had! But since restaurants are made of people, i need to express our deepest appreciation for the owner and his wife, doing all that amazing cooking! One of the best experiences we've ever had at a restaurant, will definitely come back soon.

My husband and I were in Evora for 2 days- the first day we were too late & they had already posted a (closed, we’re full) sign on the door. The second day, we arrived before they opened & were able to have lunch at the small, cozy bar that is Botequim da Mouraria. The food and service are both unmatched. It was one of our most memorable dining experiences in Portugal. Highly recommend!

One of our foodie highlights! Domingo runs the front of the house and the bar and Florbella just cooks like a master chef! They have been doing this dance for 30 years and honestly what a privilege to eat in this 8 seat wonderful spot! Let him choose for you, we even got wine while we waited on the street☺️ our hearts and our bellies were full😂

Amazing atmosphere! The friendly couple excel with top notch service and personal, authentic food. The jamon with figs was a dream. The menu is as small as the kitchen but everything I tried was delicious. Only has space for 8 people, so you should be there when they open

Wonderful experience at Botequim da Mouraria. We arrived 15 minutes before opening and secured a cozy spot. We tried a few dishes, each delicately flavored and absolutely delicious. The portions were generous and satisfying. It was a lovely way to end our trip to Evora.

During our 3 weeks in Portugal the dining experience here is by far the best ever. Each dish surpassed the previous one and led to the most amazing dessert ever. Cannot recommend highly enough.

One of the best meals we had in Portugal and a Michelin restaurant. As expected for a winery, the wine pairing was great with a combination of both commercial and experimental wines. Nevertheless, the star of the meal is definitely the food. It is just outstanding with every single dish being exceptionally tasty and well balanced made with local ingredients and flavours.

We actually had lunch at the Wine Bar Esporao and chose the surprise menu Esporao 1 with a bottle of Esporao Reserva white. The food was excellent, well presented and amply portioned. Service was timely and professional. Overall great experience!

We had an unforgettable experience dining at Esporão today. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed — not only by the attentive and well-informed staff, but also by the breathtaking setting. The views over the reservoir and vineyards are absolutely stunning and set the tone for a relaxed, elevated meal. The wine selection was outstanding — thoughtfully curated and deeply connected to the region, with excellent recommendations from our knowledgeable server. As for the food: it was truly remarkable. Each dish was creative, beautifully presented, and full of depth — a perfect blend of innovation and respect for Alentejo’s culinary heritage. Every bite felt like a celebration of local flavor, reimagined in a modern and thoughtful way. We were especially appreciative of how inclusive and welcoming the staff were. We were joined by friends who had a certified service dog, and we were made to feel completely comfortable dining indoors. The team handled everything with kindness and professionalism, which, unfortunately, is not always the case in Portugal — but Esporão absolutely sets the gold standard here. This was not just a meal — it was an experience, and one we’ll remember for a long time. Highly recommended.

Impressive and unforgettable experience, from the food to the staff to the environment, everything was thought carefully and adjusted to perfection. We got the 7 menu food and wine, and we went through a journey of experiences with it, one better than the other. Well done Esporão!

I loved the service, the experience and the setting. We’ve been several times (we visit every time we go to Portugal) even before it was a Michelin ⭐️ I actually loved the vibe before the ⭐️ , but continue to enjoy and appreciate the creativity of the chef in the use of a local food. We had the seven moments with a wine pairing, highly recommend!

Did wine bar and biological wine from this winery. Drawn here by its association with Monte Velho. Liked the tinto reserve at Dom Feijoa.

Really nice food! Good value for money. Loved the risotto and the wine.

Wonderful food, ambiance and service. Highly recommend! We had the veal (cooked in front of us), mushroom risotto w filet mignon, and lamb chops. All fantastic but the veal was on another level for me.

Tasty food My Caprese risoto was delicious Service was outstanding Great value

Went 3 days to Evora, and ate 2 days at this place. What an amazing risotto! The meat tasted very good and all the flavours worked so well together. There were 2 very lovely waiters who made the experience even better. Had a very tasteful time here!

Nice dinner place away from the main strip. The risotto was amazing. We didn’t order wine (we’ve had too much during the day), but the waiter didn’t pressure us. Glad we came here!

Amazing place, a must go to if you’re in Évora. The best mushroom risotto we’ve ever had. The people who work there are super friendly, they take the time to recommend and explain the plates, wine, wine regions (if you like), Antonio was simply the best.

Great food, high quality sourcing, and the nicest service. And the wines! We’ve had a great time!

Very well preserved medieval castle and walls, with a nice view of Vila Viçosa. Inside the walls you'll find nice green area to walk, old cemetery and church, a castle open for visiting. Here was the home of one of the most influential portuguese families. Definitely worth a visit a visit if you're in the region.

Beautiful castelo with resourceful museum, cozy small town with good restaurants. There is an interesting palace too and all are very nearby to Spanish border.

Nice castle in the village. Very original

Small (but nice) castle with a museums and a great view of the village in the end. No photos allowed inside. The visit is not guided or in a group.

Picturesque inside walls village. Needs better care from municipality, preserving the walls, gardens and art. Deserves a visit, though. Before eating at Restauração it's even better.

Very well refurbished monument with nice hunting museum and panoramic view over the city of Vila Viçosa

Interesting museum with friendly helpful staff. Ancient roman artifacts are very good but sometimes displayed rather dimly. The hunting weapons collection is superb but not to everyone's taste. The trophy displays not only include some mind-numbling examples of the worst form of the art; but also prove the damage that can be caused by over privileged royal families can do when let loose on African wildlife. If you're in the area well worth the entry fee not just for the collections on display, the excellent view from the ramparts but the fact that in 35 degrees it's deliciously cool within its heavy stone walls ;)

To find a gem such as this museum, located in a small city in the interior of Portugal speaks volumes about what the Portuguese people value. You MUST come. Artifact dating back to 4,000 years before Christ, in pristine condition. Paintings from the Flemish and Dutch schools of art. Artifacts from the Roman occupation. There are Roman ruins outside the museum. If you have a NIF number, the entrance fee is waived. But at 10€, it’s a bargain at half the price.

A small museum that houses one of the greatest works of western art. I had the unique privilege to enjoy the great polyptych in complete silence for a good half hour. The rest of the artworks are interesting especially in presenting the Flemish influence on Portuguese art.

Fascinating museum with a variety of archeological artifacts from 4000 BC, to Roman marbles to paintings from the 18th century. It’s also part of the Free entrance attractions for Portugal residents.

Very cool museum with an audio guide included that was very helpful in telling the stories of the artifacts, sculptures and paintings. The museum is right outside the Roman ruins

Built in 1915, it is one of the most important museums in Portugal with more than 20 thousand objects including paintings, archeological artifacts, tiles, and tombstones of medieval times, etc. It is located in the vicinity of the Roman Temple and the Cathedral and a must-visit in Évora. The most famous collection is the 13 piece panel that shows *the Life of the Virgin* by an unknown artist in the 14th century. A highly recommended museum with a small entrance fee of around 3 €

Amazing museum, full of pieces of Evora’s History. You will Roman tumbs, nice paintings from many Portuguese artists and schools, perfect marble sculptures and archeological findings. Sunday morning is free.

This place was small and quaint and contained lots of artifacts and stones/pieces of ruins from the local area. Entrance fee was only a few Euros, and it took only about 40 minutes to see everything. There’s a cool courtyard with a hanging sculpture.

Looked cute, had coffee and eggs so we tried it. Was not packed at all and we ordered two coffees and two simple dishes. It took 45 min to get the food. I don’t understand how that was even possible. One was two fried eggs and bacon and the other was avocado toast (with a way overcooking poached eggs). $30 euros for all of it.

We has a special of the day which was the pork with potato wedges and chimmichuri, the pork was dry, the was ok the potatoes were delicious! Hot and savory and crispy! Best part! The cheese tostada with tomatoes was very average, no flavor and bland. Crispy but cheese had no flavor and bread was average. Great service! Friendly staff! Nice cappuccino and nice place! Food was ok.

We (3 people) had lunch there on a daytrip to Evora. The cafe looks quite unassuming from the outside and it's in a side street but we were really pleasantly surprised. It's actually bigger than it looks. The food was absolutely lovely, very generous portions, we actually didn't manage it all. The menu is a good mix of things. The service was good but it took a while for our drinks to come.

The coffee was good but the WAIT! We have been waiting 90minutes for our food (so cannot speak to that yet). We have one day here in Evora and now are stuck at this cafe forever. The staff could at the very least give a heads up on the wait times if they are super backed up that day.

Just had lunch here on a lovely Évora day. I had the club sandwich and my wife got a bowl. Service was friendly and welcoming and the food really hit the spot. They have a pretty extensive menu so there are options for everyone. The terrace was nice and shaded perfect for an afternoon break exploring Evora.

We stopped here on our visit to Evora and enjoyed a great brunch. The coffee was average, but the pancakes and crepes highly compensated for that. The staff was friendly, and there was a great atmosphere.

A nice bakery with a staff that you can tell truly cares about customer service. We only had pastries and coffees here, but enjoyed every day we were in Evora. Highly recommend checking it out.

It is a very beautiful church and located in the main square of the town. Yet, if you would like to go in just to visit and take some pictures, you need to be more mindful about the visiting hours. On Sundays, it is either celebration inside or the church is closed for a few hours. Due to the timing, I couldn’t take so much picture of the inside even though I went through.

Multi language of description- really helps tourists to learn the rich culture behind the art. I hope every church follows Santo Antao Church’s lead.

The Church of Santo Antão or Igreja Paroquial de Santo Antão is located in the famous Praça do Giraldo. This is undoubtedly another of the city's many magnificent religious monuments. And one of the most visited by tourists in Évora. The commissioner of the Church of Santo Antão was Cardinal D. Henrique, Archbishop of Évora. He ordered it to be built on the site of the medieval Chapel of Santo Antoninho. To enable its construction, the Roman Triumphal Arch was demolished. Its construction dates back to the beginning of 1557. It is an example of the late Renaissance period and has the characteristics of the so-called hall churches of the time. Its interior is a single hall. The Church of Santo Antão suffered some setbacks early on. It was shaken by a strong earthquake in 1568, which led to work being carried out in 1570 to consolidate the columns and vaults. The interior of the Church of Santo Antão consists of three vaulted naves with granite columns, five sections and three chapels behind the high altar. The five sections of the naves are marked by impressive Ionic columns, which give the whole space great grandeur.

Unfortunately, I had a very unpleasant experience at the Church of Santo Antão. The staff (or clergy) were extremely rude, which completely overshadowed the visit. No matter how beautiful the place is, kindness and respect matter, especially in a religious setting. I would not return and do not recommend it.

A stunning church in a really lively part of the city, this is a great place for drinks and food while also experiencing some of the stunning sites the city has to offer.

This striking white Renaissance church sits at the North end of the Praca do Giraldo. It has a beautiful marble fountain in front of it that is made from one piece of marble.

Right in Giraldo Square, this church is well worth a visit or attending a service. It's a medium size church that is nice on the outside and gorgeous on the inside. Well worth a stop in!

I tried to go inside to pray and the young guy told me that I need to pay to go inside, it’s a “private” church.” We need to pay just to pray in a house of the God?? His attitude seems very childish and unprofessional. To pray, asking people to pay?? That’s absurd and he was very rude and unfriendly.

For the small entrance fee the beautifully preserved church is worth a visit.

Pretty church with some nice azulejos (blue tiles) inside. The price seems at little steep compared to other churches in Evora and Portugal in general.

The most beautiful little church. The azulejos and the overall proportion are just gorgeous!

The church inside with its excellent azulejos is beautiful, but you have to pay for a very expensive ticket combined with rather uniteresting palace. Not worth it

Impressive old church. Reccomend

Really interesting with the azulejos inside of the church. Also the outside door is outstanding.

We only saw the exterior of this church. It is actually very pretty albeit a bit abandoned. The church was closed. Apparently the keys lies with some volunteers who only show up when they feel like it.

A nice piece of architecture that you can walk past. It was not possible to get close to the building when I visited but it can be appreciated from afar.

Very interesting external facade with unique statues and bell tower. Although the interior is very bland.

The Igreja da Graça in Évora is truly unique for its striking and highly influential Mannerist facade, considered one of the earliest and most significant examples of this architectural style in Portugal. Its most distinctive elements are the four large, robust "Atlantes" or "Giants" supporting the upper corners of the main facade, giving the church a monumental and slightly idiosyncratic appearance that sets it apart from other churches of its time. This architectural boldness and decorative originality reflect the new artistic currents of the 16th century. Furthermore, its connection to the Augustinian order and its history as a former convent add another layer to its historical significance. The blend of classical elements with an inventive, almost playful, approach to scale and form makes the Igreja da Graça an unforgettable and crucial landmark in the study of Portuguese Renaissance and Mannerist architecture

We only saw the outside, but it is very picturesque and worth seeing, it is easy to overlook with all of the other sights in Evora.

A beautiful old church close to the Bones Chapel!

Excellent

Don't stop here , it is a toursit trap, the Menu is ridiculous and not typical, as for the drink not even a juice. If you want fat unsavory food go ahead.

Fabulous food and service.

waiter at the top, fast service smile understanding (Despite the difference in French/Portuguese language) we will come back if we pass in the area and the mojito is very good

Im from the US and this was a great restaurant to get some American type food in an amazing atmosphere with amazing service.

We've been here for a lunch, i ate duck rice, my husband hamburger. The food was very good, beer was also good, we were satisfied with the place.

It's fantastic. Food was delicious and good atmosphere

fantastic food, service and a fun time

Entrance to museum and church is 3€. I think the church is beautiful but there are plenty of places to view beautiful tile without having to pay!

Beautiful little church. Organize your walk from one thing to another to walk past this little church and see inside, it's worth it. Beautiful tile work and a lovely respite from busy streets.

€3 for a museum with a small religious collection and a small but beautiful church. The church is more of a holy place for Catholic devouts than for tourists. A serene place for praying.

The outside doesn’t reveal the beautiful gilded and azulejo interior. A lovely little church that has to be seen. In 2022 a small adjacent museum was opened (€2). We were the only visitors and the voluntary guide shared some extra details with us. The azulejo tiles are stunning.

Beautiful church. Best of all, it's free!

Great not to be overlooked ! Wonderful gold and tiles.

Very pretty

Great place to spend time watching the world go by, with a good choice of food and drink. Pleasant and quiet but very much at the centre of the action

I just researched here. And I know that prices are reasonable and fresh. I'll buy something next time.

The place is quite abandoned..only Few shops/restaurants are open outside.. But the inside is quite closed and inactive. The place has huge potential.. too bad. This isn't a wet market.. Supposed to be a food court.

Nice on Saturdays when there’s a farmers market outside the municipal market buildings. I bought wild asparagus and deliciously fragrant honey there.

Under whelmed. Only very few stores open. Cross street cafe is a good place for a beer and snack though

Many of the shops are closed. Not sure if it’s permanent or just on the days we were there.

New ,but no Frequenz ! Many Shops closed

Great place to go and see

(Translated by Google) It is not well preserved, the ceiling is black from the candles that were used in the past and the paintings and precious tiles have been lost. The best thing is the woman who explains it to you. (Original) No es bien conservado, el techo es negro de las velas que se usaban antiguamente y se han perdido las pinturas, los azulejos preciosos. Lo mejor es la mujer que te lo explica.

(Translated by Google) The convent maintains some original frescoes and tiles. It is not completely restored, which makes it more authentic and special. There, we meet what is probably the best person in the world. This is Pilar, she explained to us with enthusiasm and passion everything about the convent and the association she works with. He welcomed us so well that I felt like I didn't thank him enough for the treatment we received. The world should be governed by people like Pilar. It conveyed peace, kindness and empathy. I hope this message reaches Pilar, please, someone send it to her. He spoke perfect Spanish. A hug (Original) El convento mantiene algunos frescos y azulejos originales. No está restaurado del todo, lo que lo hace más auténtico y especial. Allí, nos encontramos con la que es, probablemente, la mejor persona del mundo.

Off the get-go, if you are a local, you must know this spot is amazing, and if you are a tourist (as I was), this restaurant was a spectacular addition to our trip… From the first bite, you can tell this place is run with passion. The pizza is light, thin, and perfectly balanced. I had the mortadella pizza, and it was hands-down one of the best I’ve had anywhere, it was rich without being heavy, and with flavors that linger in the best way. My family tried the pesto, the fungi, and the margherita pizzas, and not a slice was left behind. Each one had its own standout quality, whether it was the earthy depth of the mushrooms, the fresh brightness and rare sweetness of the pesto, or the comforting simplicity of the margherita, they all hit the spot. But what truly makes Buona Forchetta is the warmth of the atmosphere. Sergio and his team make you feel like you’ve stumbled into a local gem, because you have. The service was thoughtful and kind, and the space feels both vibrant and welcoming, like you’re a regular even if it’s your first time. Évora is full of some very vibrant history, but this little restaurant gave us a memory just as lasting. Thank you, Sergio, you’re doing something really special here.

Just phenomenal food! Authentic pasta from scratch. Very friendly local staff, you can tell that a lot of locals eat here. I noticed quite a few locals leave with pizza take out boxes. Every course was delicious- the salad with sun dried tomatoes, fresh Parmesan and a touch of buffalo Mozzarella- oh my goodness- it was one of the best salads I have ever had. Also, you must try the spaghetti carbonara! Amazing. Barbara, our server, was so sweet and accommodating!

Extremely cozy spot with fantastically accommodating and friendly staff and great Italian food! We're big fans of Italian restaurants, and Buona Forchetta just became one of my new favourites due to the fantastic pizza with some of the best dough in town and the selection of lesser-known regional wines that are matched in quality with more popular names. Strongly recommend the focaccia and the tiramisu!

I’ve been in Portugal for nearly two months now and without a doubt this was the best experience I had so far. My wife and I walked over from our hotel and almost missed the place. It’s very small so if you can I suggest making a reservation if possible. You will not be disappointed. They squeezed us in and even though a little cramped it felt very cozy. The owner/chef introduced himself and was very personable in every way. When I ordered a wine, he suggested a different one and he was right. The same with my entree. The focaccia was warm and tremendously fragrant to start things off. My wife had the carbonara and I had the filet. The meals were done to perfection. Every detail. His wife was just as pleasant and efficient. Dessert was a wonderful after dinner drink from Monserrat and an Italian dessert pistachio bread. Wow! What an evening. What an experience. I wish you the same. Don’t miss this one!! #stevensleavin

While visiting Évora, we were looking for somewhere to eat, without having made any reservations. We found this restaurant through a quick online search, and liked what the reviews had outlined. As we arrived, we saw a large line of people, but quickly realized it was for a neighboring restaurant. We were quickly accommodated by the gentleman performing all front end duties. A marvel to watch as he was bouncing around the tables (inside and patio) with ease. The food was great! Our daughter, who always turned her nose to lasagna, ate half my plate. We enjoyed it so much that we ordered meals to go as well.

The best italian food um Evora ! The pasta , risotto, pizzas, and salad are wonderfoul. I definitely recommend this restaurant.

Delicious Italian food with excellent service! The owner was very kind and the prices were low compared to the quality of the food!

Beautiful chapel. But the accessible area was limited today.

Well worth the short walk from the city. Chances to see the living quarters of one the previous residents

Worth to see!

The gate was shut, therefore not accessible. Unfortunately no further information.

Top visitation and fantastic history telling.

(Translated by Google) It's not easy to find the entrance. We only have access to the church. But we could call a sister, and so we did. It was incredibly friendly, over 30 minutes of conversation and stories. (Original) Não é fácil achar a entrada. Temos acesso só a igreja. Mas podemos chamar uma irmã e assim fizemos. Foi de uma simpatia extrema, mais de 30m de conversa e histórias.

(Translated by Google) The directions on Google Maps are wrong; they lead to the Cartuxa wine cellar. The church that can be visited at this location is "bare." Picture frames are on the walls, but there are no paintings. There is no information of any kind. (Original) As direcções no Google maps estão erradas mandam para a adega da Cartuxa. A igreja que é possivel visitar, neste local, encontrasse "nua". Molduras dos quadros nas paredes mas sem pinturas. Não existe qualquer tipo de informação.

This was a lovely tranquil spot and the track was easily drivable

Out of the way very untouristy which was lovely. Being an outlander fan I found it very interesting . Beautiful stones in the middle of nowhere

Definitely go with a guide to get the best experience and history of the place. It's hard to imagine the history behind this sacred place and what it meant to humans at the time. Well worth the experience to sit quietly and ponder our connection to the past.

Beautiful megalithic stone circle. It is easy accessible by car, the road to the stone circle is unpaved. You can visit the megalithic stone circle 24/7 for free. This stone circle is estimated to be around 7000 years old.

Beautiful peaceful place, with wonderful flowers around the stones.

A small and compound spot for one night. We overnighted with three other campers between the standing stones.

Large group of about 30 upright boulders down a bumpy unpaved road. Well worth the drive. We were the only ones there when we went and it was great!

I had a wonderful stay at Convento do Espinheiro, Historic Hotel & Spa. The property is absolutely beautiful, with so much history and charm woven into every detail. The atmosphere is serene and welcoming, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind. The amenities were excellent, and I truly enjoyed everything the hotel had to offer — from the peaceful surroundings to the well-kept facilities. The staff were warm, attentive, and made the experience even more special. The property is spread out and be aware that there was a line for breakfast, so don't sleep in! Overall, it was a memorable and positive stay, and I would gladly return again.

First class hotel, warm staff, clean rooms, sumptuous breakfast. They really think of everything here and are keen to please in a professional friendly manner. The front desk, restaurant servers and bar staff are all hospitality perfect. The pools are delightful. The property is a joy and a historical treasure. We will return!

We stayed here for nights in October 2025. It was wonderful. Our room was lovely. The restaurant and bar were great. Super breakfast. We used the indoor pool each day after touring the town. Great location for exploring the region. We knew it was outside of town, but were initially surprised about the location. We were worried that it would be a hassle to go to town and find parking. We were so relieved to find out it was super easy. The front desk team pointed out on the map where there is safe and easy parking just outside of the town walls, a brief walk to the Roman ruins. Super easy. Best was the staff....so friendly and helpful. This place is a special treat....you should go!

Dining at the restaurant in Convento do Espinheiro was a memorable experience. The setting is stunning with dining inside a former convent adding a unique and peaceful atmosphere that is both elegant and historic. The food was refined and beautifully presented with flavours that highlight the richness of Alentejo cuisine. The service was professional and attentive without being intrusive. It is the perfect place for a special meal whether you are staying at the hotel or visiting Évora. A truly unique and high-quality dining experience in a magical setting.

The ugliest hotel room I ever saw for the highest price. After one night I couldn’t wait to leave. I asked for a refund for the remaining nights so I could leave early but the staff refused. I feel like I was robbed by paying 400 euros a night for such an unpleasant environment . The breakfast buffet was also very poor (I’d rate it 4/10) The whole hotel has a tired and creepy vibe, definitely wouldn’t recommend to anyone and obviously would never go back.

Beautiful place, but food and service is meh. Definitely not a 5 star hotel which is a shame and could easily be done by stepping up the management. 1. Hotel occupies a nice space and we had fun exploring all the different areas. Staying in a renovated convent was definitely a highlight for us. 2. Restaurants are only open for dinner. Their hyped Italian restaurant serves - just like most places - processed cheap white flour pizzas and the Carbonara is watery. The bread cover was nice but overpriced. 3. There is no valet service. The staff will only get luggage from the car after checking in, and then you have to go park the car somewhere yourself. 4. Miscommunication between the staff is common, and there is no follow up on inquiries made. Staff is often absent at service places like the bar and we had to walk to the reception to get help to find the missing bartender. Okay for 2-3 star hotel but not for 5 star. 5. We liked that they provided two glass bottles of water in the room every day. There is a card in the room to wish you enjoy the contents of the minibar, but it’s empty. 6. The rooms are spacious, the bed is large and we loved the walk-in shower. The aircon in room 218 was very weak and it took till 1am for the room the cool down so we could sleep under the blankets. If you keep the bathroom door open it will just not cool down at all. Outside it was 19C only, but the window was too small to create airflow. Great for a quick stopover but lacks service and luxury for an extended stay.

Convento do Espinheiro Type: convent, hotel Visits: possible - the historical part of the hotel Price: free Time spent: 40-60 min Parking: large, available for the clients WC: available Around 1412 there was built a chapel. In 1458 a church was built, later - a monastery. The place was used as a residence for kings during centuries.

We came here specifically to try the Fitapreta wines, thanks to a recommendation from a local friend. If you’re a wine enthusiast, the tasting experience is a must-do. We chose the €45 'Big Picture' option and were able to sample 5excellent wines. The staff is truly nice and helpful, making the whole experience highly enjoyable. Be sure to try their Azores production; they are genuinely special and stand out.

We had a wonderful experience tasting and learning about the wonderful wines of Finapreta. Veronica was such a knowledgeable , kind and welcoming representative in the tasting room. The wines were delicious and I’d definitely recommend a visit here to anyone. Thank you so very much Veronica!

Visited with a group from the USA. Incredible place with amazing views. Bought a small bottle of olive oil and it is delicious and very rick in flavor! Highly recommended to visit and tour.

What an amazing winery, in different ways! The tours was impressive, explaining the history of the property.. the wines so different, interesting and with a story! I could not have wished for a better afternoon! Thank you all for this great experience

A must in Alentjo, the tour was as much historical as it was about wine. Andre was generous in sharing his knowledge and very connaisseur explaining the art of wine making. Great place to spend time, relax and enjoy this wonderful estate rich in all it senses :)

If you are near Évora: FITAPRETA is a must! ♥️ The gorgeous landscape of Alentejo’s rolling hills of cork oak, olive trees, and vineyards is beautifully expressed at Fita Preta, whose 14th century and neo-classical architecture create a dreamscape where you can walk through the portals of time into the past, while fully immersed in the splendor of the moment. The wine tasting & tour of the winery (guide was great), with ancient frescos, walls of wine aging in oak barrels, expansive terraces, and new restaurant was a delicious-delight. Alexandra, the co-creator/owner, was wonderful as always. Her added extra heart, charm, & thoughtfulness has made Fita Preta a place for all to fall love. Merci beaucoup e muito obrigada ♥️

This is a fantastic winery with excellent food! Beautifully restored! First class service and wine!

Nice museum with an excellent collection of nativity scene sculptures. As part of a new initiative, entrance is free to Portuguese and foreign people who have a tax number (NIF) and live in Portugal can now visit 37 museums, monuments and palaces free of charge, 52 days a year and on any day of the week.

Not a very interesting museum, but the ticket price encompasses this museum as well as the Chapel of Bones. It has some interesting Sacred Arts pieces. There was an enormous exhibition of nativities scenes.

They have a few religious artifacts and paintings. I really only went here because I went to the ossuary.

Small museum that provides the history of saint francis. The ticket to the chapel includes the ticket to the museum.

An interesting collection of sacred art. It is based on the collections of the convent itself and other extinct Franciscan convents. It includes works by famous painters, sculptures from the 16th to 18th centuries, a collection of sacred jewelry from the same period.

Part of the must visit Igreja e Mosteiro de São Francisco complex in Evora. This precinct has been rescued from ruin and thoughtfully restored. While containing many interesting artifacts, it is worthwhile just to wander about and enjoy the sense of history. Good views of Evora from the roof top, keep and eye out for the Álvaro Siza drawings.

Several interesting pieces

This is an example of engineering beauty from the 15th century. I spent a few hours in its company and consider it a highlight of Evora.

Cool spot. Hard to get good pictures...

Somewhat impressive, but it's only less than 200 years old. If it was from Roman time, it would be super impressive.

Walking along outside of the city IS a must

Super 👌

(Translated by Google) A section of the aqueduct visible in the city. In fact, a large section is visible. The problem is that it's not designed for visitors; it crosses a road and there's no parking area. (Original) Trozo del acueducto que se ve en la ciudad. De hecho se ve un gran trozo, el problema que no está pensado para visitas, cruza una carretera y no hay zona de aparcamiento

(Translated by Google) Very nice and large, it is located just before entering the city (Original) Muy bonito y grande,esta situado justo antes de entrar en la ciudad

Great little stop not too far off the beaten track. The bark was spongy and nice to touch. These trees are amazing. We could drive right up to it, and the park was quiet.

Good place to make rest stop if you go to south of Portugal. Oak is definitely huge it’s 240 years old.

An incredible tree in a peaceful well maintained garden. A must stop if you pass nearby.

When you stand under that tree.... It's such a fairy tale experience. Much better than in photos.

If passing that way, a quick stop to look at the oldest tree in portugal and some info.

Allegedly oldest cork tree in the world. It is a very beautiful tree and it definitely has a mystic allure. I really liked to see it, touch it's wise trunk and take a nice shot of it. It might just be a tree but it is a curious one.

Interesting landmark, easy parking, and a small children's playpark on site
