Highlights

Lets go back in time and visit one of the most historical cities in Portugal. South of Lisbon we can find Evora in the middle of the rolling hills of Alentejo where Olive and Cork trees are part of the scenery. This region has in cork one of its main productions, we invite you to see and learn about all the uses this material can have. Afterwards we will follow up to Évora and visit one of its most enigmatic structures. The São Francisco church and the bone chapel awaken the curiosity of its visitors. We will have a lunch break around this area and invite you to walk through some of the main streets, where Giraldo Square is part of the route. We will continue walking until we reach the Roman Temple of Evora, once called Temple of Diana but without any factual proof that could connect it to the roman Goddess of hunt. Besides it lies the Cathedral, a main Gothic body housing part of the Portuguese treasure collection.

About Lisbon

Lisbon spills down its hills to the Tagus estuary, a city of tiled façades, rattling yellow trams, viewpoint terraces and late, unhurried dinners.

The old quarters hold most of the charm. Alfama's tangle of lanes climbs to São Jorge Castle and echoes with fado in the evening, the Baixa's orderly grid runs down to the vast Praça do Comércio on the river, and Bairro Alto and Chiado mix bookshops and cafés by day with bars by night. Viewpoints such as Santa Luzia and Senhora do Monte frame red rooftops and shining water.

Top-ranked sights in Lisbon: Commerce Square (Praça do Comércio), Pena National Palace (Palacio Nacional da Pena), Alfama.
