Visit Évora

Evora is a one-night stay town. The Chaple of Bones was a great place to spend Halloween. Interesting history. A walk around the Public Park with the Peacocks was a fun experience. We ate at Dona Laura Restaurant which I would highly recommend to others. The Hotel was centrally located and we walked everywhere. The one negative comment was that Evora was the first city I visited where beggars approached you aggressively holding small children.

Terrific historic town, wonderful preservant of ancient buildings, culture and history mixed with modern life. Disappointed that the palace and private church were closed on Monday—tour book had indicated otherwise. Definitely a town with rich heritage worth visiting.

Historical, relatively quiet, you can walk around feeling relaxed. Most restaurants are a little pricy. Having just experienced an expensive but very low quality restaurant in Sintra, we didn't dare to try expensive restaurants in Evora. Hotels are mostly high quality. It is nice to spend a few days to enjoy this great town.

I would highly recommend Evora. The Roman Temple is an amazing remnant of ancient times; the Chapel of Bones is fascinating, if a bit macabre and the whole town is lovely. There are a number of beautiful churches, many of which had services on Sunday. We liked that one can walk everywhere and that there seemed to be a lot of locals around (not only tourists!). We found an excellent restaurant where we had traditional Alentejo dishes. One needs a full day here at least (preferably 2 nights).

Lovely place to visit. Full of history and lovely buildings. Some great places to eat too. We ate at Enoteca Cartuxa - highly recommended but booking needed. We went on a Monday and it was busy. Walked around most of the walled city but could have done with more than 24 hours to see it properly.

Authentic old city. Not too crowded with tourists. Food scene was great - ate at restaurant called Momento which was one of our best dining experiences during our 18 day trip through Portugal. It was a small restaurant with a very engaging owner/chef who spends time with each guest explaining the farm-to-table eating adventure.
