What you can expect

Set off on your full-day tour from Lisbon and discover one of the most scenic parts of Portugal's countryside. Make your way through Alentejo with its magnificent Leave Lisbon behind and head into the heart of the Alentejo region for a full-day journey through Évora and Monsaraz, where history, tradition and taste blend into one unforgettable experience. Whether you join a shared group or select a private tour, this itinerary is designed to immerse you in the rich cultural heritage and slow rhythms of southern Portugal.

Start your day with a comfortable drive to Évora, a UNESCO World Heritage Site filled with centuries of history. Begin with a guided walking tour through the city’s main monuments. See the impressive Roman Temple, standing tall since the 1st century; admire the architectural harmony of Giraldo Square, the city's elegant central plaza; and explore the imposing Évora Cathedral, with optional views from its rooftop.

Your visit continues with a guided entry to the Chapel of Bones, one of Portugal’s most unique and thought-provoking landmarks. Decorated with thousands of human bones and skulls, this chapel is both a spiritual space and a reminder of life’s impermanence. Your guide will explain the meaning behind its construction and the Franciscan traditions that shaped it.

After the cultural exploration, enjoy free time to relax and have lunch in Évora’s historic center. Your guide will suggest restaurants where you can taste regional dishes such as black pork, migas or açorda, paired with a glass of local wine.
In the afternoon, head to the breathtaking village of Monsaraz, a whitewashed medieval settlement perched above the Alqueva reservoir. Walk through its narrow-cobbled streets, take sweeping views of the Alentejo plains and experience the peaceful atmosphere of a village suspended in time.

The day concludes with a regional wine tasting at a local winery near Monsaraz. Learn about Alentejo’s wine production, discover native grape varieties and enjoy a tasting that reflects the sun-drenched landscape and strong character of the region’s wines.

Return to Lisbon with a deeper appreciation for Portugal’s inland beauty, culture and flavors, a journey that captures the soul of the Alentejo.
