 The day begins as you head south from Lisbon, crossing the iconic 25 de Abril Bridge, often compared to San Francisco’s Golden Gate, and enjoy the scenic drive through the peaceful Portuguese countryside.

 Arriving in Évora, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, you’ll be welcomed by its whitewashed houses, cobbled streets, and remarkable monuments.

Explore the local market and the historic Royal Palace of King Manuel, immersing yourself in the authentic rhythm of this charming city.

After the guided tour, enjoy free time in Évora’s Historic Centre, the perfect opportunity to relax over lunch at one of the many traditional restaurants, or, if you prefer, take this time to explore at your own pace.
