GUIA COMPLETO DE ÉVORA

Évora, uma das cidades mais atemporais de Portugal, é rica em património histórico, arquitetura, cultura e muito mais. Lá podem encontrar igrejas, praças históricas, um templo romano, casinhas brancas e ruas coloridas e estreitas. Aqui está o meu Guia da Cidade de Évora. Espero que gostem!

QUANDO IR

Summers in Évora are some of the warmest in Europe, with temperatures above 35ºC (95ºF). In terms of weather, this is not the best time for visiting Évora. It’s best to visit Évora during the Spring or Autumn.

Eu estive lá no início de Outubro. O tempo estava um bocadinho instável, ainda choveu no primeiro dia mas depois acabou por ficar sol e bem mais agradável.

ONDE FICAR

Nós ficámos no Tivoli Évora Ecoresort.. 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 para verem mais pormenores do quarto. A piscina tinha uma vista incrível. Senti-me super segura, notou-se que foram tomadas todas as precauções necessárias face à situação da covid-19. Além disso, os funcionários foram sempre atenciosos. Foi um fim-de-semana perfeito!

COMO SE DESLOCAR

The easiest way to travel from Lisbon to Évora is by car. The hotel had free parking and is located a 15-minute drive from the city center of Évora. 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.

O NOSSO GUIA DE 2 DIAS

Here is what you can’t miss in Évora! Take a look!

1º DIA

Capela dos Ossos

Fomos recebidos com chuva e nevoeiro. A ideia era visitar o Templo Romano primeiro mas, como estava a chover, acabámos por visitar a famosa Capela dos Ossos.
In the 16th century there were 43 cemeteries in Évora 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.
Arrepiante e interessante ao mesmo tempo, não acham?

COMO CHEGAR

• Praça 1º de Maio

Almoço

Tínhamos preparado um almoço rápido que pudéssemos comer em qualquer lado, enquanto caminhávamos pela cidade, mas acabámos por comer no carro porque não parava de chover. Depois fomos ao Café Sto. Humberto para beber um café e comer um pastel de nata.

Giraldo Square

Giraldo Square is Évora’s main square. It’s the heart of the city with cafes and restaurants to compliment the attractive buildings. There’s also a fountain made of marble. It has 8 spouts, each symbolising one of the main streets from and to Praça do Giraldo. It’s said that Philip III of Spain thought that the fountain deserved to be crowned. That’s why you can find a crown on the top of the it. You can also find the Church of St. Anthony the Great, behind the fountain. It’s worth seeing the baroque and rococo interior.

Templo Romano de Évora

No Évora City Guide is complete without the Roman Temple of Évora, also known as Temple of Diana. It represents one of the most significant landmarks relating to the Roman and Lusitanian civilizations of Évora and in Portuguese territory. That’s why it was considered World Heritage by UNESCO in 1986. 

COMO CHEGAR

• Largo do Conde de Vila Flor

Sé Catedral de Évora

After that, we went to visit the cathedral. It’s the largest medieval cathedral in Portugal and a must see in Évora.  Both the exterior and interior deserve your attention. On the exterior, the dome is the most amazing architectural feature. The terrace is the highest point of the city. From there you can see the whole city.

COMO CHEGAR

• Largo do Marquês de Marialva

Jantar no Restaurante Cardo

Then we went to the hotel to check in and get dressed for dinner. Cardo restaurant is an invitation to discover the genuine and traditional flavours of Alentejo. We had the most delicious dinner there. The desserts were AMAZING! And the decor is absolutely beautiful. I totally recommend!

2º DIA

Pequeno-almoço no hotel

We started the day with our breakfast at the hotel. Everything was super safe and clean. On the last day, we had nothing planned. The idea was simply to relax at the hotel and take a stroll through the streets of Évora, without a strict plan.

Fizemos a viagem de volta a Lisboa à tarde.
