Private Évora Walking Tour – Roman Temples, Bones Chapel & University

Discover the Timeless Beauty of Évora, the Heart of Alentejo

Évora is not just a city — it’s a living museum of Portuguese history, wrapped in whitewashed walls and kissed by the golden Alentejo sun. This exclusive walking tour invites you to explore its most iconic landmarks and hidden stories with the intimacy of a private guide.

Start your journey at the Church of the Holy Ghost, a stone’s throw from the prestigious University of Évora, one of the oldest in Europe. Learn how this academic institution shaped generations of Portuguese minds and discover the secrets behind its Manueline architecture.

Wander through cobbled alleys to the haunting Chapel of Bones, a powerful reflection on mortality built from thousands of human skeletons. Visit the St. Francis Church, the Romanesque-Gothic masterpiece that houses this unique chapel.

Marvel at the Roman Temple of Évora — often called the Temple of Diana — one of the best-preserved Roman ruins in Iberia. Then, stroll through Praça do Giraldo, the bustling main square where centuries of power, trade, and resistance played out.

Along the way, you’ll explore local artisan streets, see Moorish-era fountains, and dive into stories that only a knowledgeable local can reveal.
