Evora Monsaraz

Evora Monsaraz

The extensive plains and the 'very noble and ever loyal' city of Évora have great stories to tell and much to show. Stories of bravery, such as those involving the local hero Geraldo without Awe; or of luck and chance, as the main reason for the Roman Temple still standing. And still life and death stories. Where else can you find 5,000 monks in one room?

- Lisbon - Hotel / Accommodation Pick-Up
- Alentejo - The trip to Évora allows you to observe and feel the charm of the Alentejo region. It is a very interesting route, even by the motorway, where we passed cork oaks, agricultural plains, vineyards and many small villages and villages.
- Évora - The Roman Temple, the Cathedral and its museum, the Giraldo Square and the Bones Chapel are the main highlights of the city of Évora. But the little old streets also justify the visit.
- Cartuxa - Very close to Évora, the Cartuxa Winery is worth visiting, either to buy some of the best wines from Portugal, or even to take a guided tour. For the guided tour it is necessary to schedule a few days in advance. The entrance to the Carthusian monastery, where some monks still live, can also be seen nearby.
- Monsaraz - Less than an hour away, Monsaraz is a beautiful village built on top of a hill. The castle served as a defense against the Castilians and offers a view in all directions, with Lake Alqueva extending from there. Monsaraz is worth a visit, even for a lunch stop, but for this it is necessary to take some time to visit Évora.
