Full day tour Evora and Monsaraz

This tour will take us through Alentejo, the largest region of Portugal, covered by golden plains dotted with cork oaks and olive trees. First we’ll visit Monsaraz, a medieval walled village with whitewashed houses and cobblestone streets, hanging over a hill, with a breathtaking view over Europe’s largest artificial lake – the Alqueva.

Next we’re on our way to Alentejo’s capital, Evora. A UNESCO World Heritage site, known as the museum city, with a walled-in historic center, and squares where you can breathe an history of over 2000 years. If you feel brave enough you can visit one of the most macabre chapels in the world, the Bones chapel where walls are lined with skulls and other human bones. On our return, we’ll visit a cork factory and before entering Lisbon we will drive through the 25th of April suspension bridge and enjoy one of the most spectacular views of the capital city.

Whether you choose a single-day or a multi-day tour, you will always be driven in the comfort of our Mercedes-Benz vehicles and escorted by our certified professional driver-guides.

Itinerary:

Ponte Vasco da Gama

We will begin our tour of Evora by crossing the longest bridge in Europe, Vasco da Gama bridge . It was built in 1998 and inaugurated during Lisbon’s World Fair (Expo 98), in celebration of the 500th anniversary of Vasco da Gama’s voyage of discovery of the ocean route to India from Europe and around Africa. On our way to Evora we will enjoy the unique landscape of the “Alentejo” region with its extensive cork tree forests and boundless vineyards (the largest wine region in Portugal).

Fabrica da Cortiça (Cork Factory)

Visit one of the cork factories, in the region of Evora, where you can watch and learn the cork making process, from the first to last stages of the final product. Here you can buy cork items at factory outlet prices.

Monsaraz (medieval village)

Monsaraz is a magical medieval town near the border with Spain. Explore the shale stone streets and alleys and the medieval castle overlooking the largest man made lake in Europe: the Alqueva. Learn about the legacy of the Knights Templar and the Portuguese Jewish sefardists in this jewel of the historic towns of Portugal.

City of Evora

Visit to the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Evora , fortified by a 17th-century wall, tells us its history through the many monuments, squares and medieval streets we can find here. From the Roman Temple at the high hill to the Moorish arcades in Giraldo Square, passing by the 12th-century cathedral and the 17th century Bones chapel, we can rebuild the past of this city, once considered the barnyard of the Roman Empire because of its many surrounding wheat fields. Evora was also one of the most important commercial cities during the Moorish rule in the Iberian Peninsula, becoming the capital of the Alentejo region after the Portuguese reconquest.

Wineries

Optional visit and wine tasting at one of these local wineries: “Adega da Cartuxa“, “Herdade do Esporao” or “Adega Ervideira “.

25th April Bridge and Cristo Rei monument

“Inaugurated in 1966, the “25 de Abril” Bridge has become a major landmark of the city of Lisbon and a welcome sight for all visitors. The bridge connects the two margins of the Tagus River and it is one of the most imposing suspension bridges in all the world.
The Cristo Rei monument was inaugurated in 1959 and it’s a national sanctuary. It is a place of pilgrimage and welcomes thousands of pilgrims every year. Due to its privileged location, 600 feet above sear level, the panoramic scenery is one of the most spectacular, overlooking the city of Lisbon. This fact attracts millions of tourists annually.”
