Évora Old Town & Cork Factory Tour from Lisbon
Step into the heart of Alentejo and explore Évora — one of Portugal’s most remarkable historic cities. With ancient streets, Roman ruins, and vibrant cultural heritage, this full-day tour offers a memorable blend of history, architecture, and local tradition.
Évora
As a sugestion, our first stop is Évora, a city encircled by medieval walls and recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site since 1986. Often described as an open-air museum, Évora is rich in architectural styles, religious landmarks, and cultural depth.
Walk through the cobbled streets and admire Giraldo Square, a lively hub surrounded by centuries-old buildings. Just a short stroll away, you’ll find the Roman Temple of Diana, one of the best-preserved Roman structures in the Iberian Peninsula.
Explore the Cathedral of Évora and the famous Church of São Francisco, home to the haunting yet fascinating Chapel of Bones. As you continue, you’ll pass the Colégio do Espírito Santo, now the University of Évora, where tiled interiors reflect Portugal’s mastery of ceramic art.
More to See
Take a peaceful break in the Public Garden, where you’ll find the Palace of D. Manuel nestled among the trees. Art lovers can visit the Eugénio de Almeida Art and Culture Center, showcasing both local and international talent.
As you follow the path of the Água de Prata Aqueduct, you’ll transition from the city’s heart to the vast open fields of the Alentejo. Along the way, the region’s signature whitewashed houses create a charming and unforgettable backdrop.
Visit to Cork Factory
To enrich the experience, we include a stop at a family-run cork factory. Here, you’ll learn about one of Portugal’s most important industries. See how cork is harvested, treated, and transformed into eco-friendly products—from bottle stoppers to fashion accessories.
This behind-the-scenes visit offers insight into how tradition and sustainability go hand in hand in the Alentejo region.
Wine Tasting (Optional)
In Évora, we’ll visit a local vineyard for a guided wine tasting. Wine has been produced in this area for centuries. The unique climate and soil create ideal conditions for high-quality grapes and excellent wines.
Return to Lisbon
After a day immersed in history, culture, and craftsmanship, we begin our relaxing return to Lisbon. Take in the rolling landscapes of Alentejo one last time as we bring you back to your accommodation—ending the journey with comfort and care.
The itinerary is carefully curated to provide a rich and varied experience. However, the choice is always yours—enjoy this journey at your own pace, with the comfort of a private or small-group setting.

What happens if it rains or there is bad weather?
All activities will take place throughout the year even if it rains.
Sintra, for example, has a microclimate, which in a way makes this place so magical and unique, but sometimes it can really make the visit sad by limiting visibility and the experience a bit, but that’s something that’s not in our control.
Do you come to pick me from my hotel?
Yes, we do pick up and drop off our clients at their hotels in Lisbon’s center.
Make sure that you write the correct address of your hotel or accommodation from where we should pick you up.
I am a solo traveler, can I still join the tour?
Yes, we accept solo travelers.
At what time the tour starts?
For our group tours, pick-up takes place between 08:30 and 09:00.
For private tours, we recommend the same time slot, although pick-up can be arranged at a different time upon request.
