Favorite Thing: Évora is one of my favourite cities in Portugal. It is not that far from Lisbon and access is good (highway) so we often use it as a weekend getaway or simply to do a pleasant daytrip with friends, to enjoy fantastic restaurants – food there is great, and so is wine. Évora’s beautiful old city is built inside a castle’s walls and all through the city are still visible remains of consecutive occupancies and conquests, such as Roman and Moorish. The surrounding plains have its own charm and beauty – very green during Spring and dry and hot on Summer months.

Favorite Thing: Évora’s historic centre is classified by Unesco as World Heritage site – the urban group formed by streets, squares and fountain. This city is often referred to as museum-city, as there are so many things to observe while strolling on the streets - often referred on most guidebooks, are the white houses with blue or yellow stripes and beautiful balconies made in iron. Évora’s “golden years” were in the 15th century, when Portuguese Kings and Queens chose this city to live.
