Evora Day Trip from Lisbon w/ Capela dos Ossos
Lisbon – Almendres Cromlech – Roman Temple – Cathedral of Evora – Chapel of Bones – Lisbon
On this tour, we will pass through the magnificent vineyards, corn and cork plains, and olive trees of the Alentejo region. We’ll start by visiting the oldest cromlech in southern Europe, more than 7,000 years old: Almendres Cromlech. It is a megalithic complex of more than 100 stones placed in a circular pattern aligned with the solstices and equinoxes.
Next, we visit Evora, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, surrounded by 14th century walls. We will visit the Roman Temple and the Se, a gothic cathedral (the largest in Portugal) right in the heart of the city. You will have time to stroll through the streets of Evora and discover the local crafts before lunch (own expense).
We continue our journey in the afternoon to the Church of San Francisco and the famous Chapel of Bones, a must see. We’ll put the finishing touch on a beautiful day with a regional Alentejo olive oil tasting!
