\u00c9vora, one of the most timeless cities in Portugal, is a beautiful city with a lot of historical heritage, rich in architecture, culture and more. There, you can find churches, historic squares, a temple, white little houses and narrow streets. Here is my \u00c9vora City Guide. Hope you like it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHEN TO GO<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Summers in \u00c9vora are some of the warmest in Europe, with temperatures above 35\u00baC (95\u00baF). In terms of weather, this is not the best time for visiting \u00c9vora. It’s best to visit \u00c9vora during the Spring or Autumn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I went there in the beginning of October. The weather was a little unstable, it rained on the first day but then it got sunny and warm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHERE TO STAY<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We stayed at Tivoli \u00c9vora Ecoresort<\/a>. It was the first hotel in the world to be clad in cork, an eco-friendly material, and was designed to be as sustainable as possible. It’s such a quiet and peaceful place. Rooms were beautiful and clean. We even had our very own private courtyard to relax. You can check my IGTV<\/a> to see the room tour. The infinity pool had a beautiful view. I felt super safe the entire time, they took all necessary precautions due to the covid-19 situation. Also, the staff was amazing and really helpful. Everything was perfect!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HOW TO MOVE AROUND<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The easiest way to travel from Lisbon to \u00c9vora is by car. The hotel had free parking and is located a 15-minute drive from the city center of \u00c9vora. We basically drove to the center, found a place to park and walked around the city. Walking is the best way to appreciate the city’s architecture and the attractions are very close to each other. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is what you can’t miss in \u00c9vora! Take a look!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAY 1<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Bone Chapel<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The day started with rain and fog. The idea was to visit the Temple first, but as it was raining, we ended up visiting the Capela dos Ossos.
In the 16th century there were 43 cemeteries in \u00c9vora that were taking up valuable land. That’s why the monks decided to build a small chapel and relocate the bones. It gets its name (Bone Chapel) because the interior walls are decorated with human skulls and bones.
Creepy and interesting at the same time, don\u2019t you think?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
