Evora is a masterpiece of Portuguese culture—from the magnificent Roman Temple that stands as a testament to ancient architectural genius, to the historic streets of the old town where every building tells a story of Portuguese history and culture, from the sophisticated neighborhoods of the city center where modern Evora life thrives, to the world-famous university that has educated scholars for centuries. This is a city where every street corner tells a story of Portuguese history and culture, where every meal is a celebration of Alentejo hospitality and traditional flavors, and where the concept of 'Evora wisdom' reflects the city's academic heritage. From the spiritual heart of the cathedral to the modern energy of the city center, from the historic streets of the old town to the peaceful squares that offer perfect escapes from city life, from the world-famous archaeological sites to the sophisticated restaurants that serve the best of Portuguese cuisine—Evora offers experiences that range from the deeply cultural to the historically fascinating.
