Together, Évora and Monsaraz provide the perfect combination of history, culture, and natural beauty, making for an unforgettable day of exploration in southern Portugal.
A journey in Évora, a UNESCO World Heritage city that feels like stepping into a living history book. Wander through its charming cobblestone streets and explore the impressive Roman Temple (Temple of Diana), which dates back to the 1st century AD. Admire the stunning Évora Cathedral, a mix of Gothic and Romanesque architecture, and visit the haunting Chapel of Bones, where the walls are lined with human skulls and bones, reminding visitors of life’s fragility. The city’s well-preserved medieval ambiance and rich history offer a glimpse into Portugal’s ancient past.
Next, a trip to Monsaraz, a picturesque hilltop village in the Alentejo region. This serene town is known for its whitewashed houses, narrow streets, and sweeping views of the Alqueva Dam—one of the largest artificial lakes in Europe. Wander through the quaint alleys and discover its medieval castle, which offers panoramic vistas of the surrounding countryside. Monsaraz is a place where time seems to slow down, allowing you to fully soak in its peaceful, rustic charm.

My holidays couldn’t be better and it was just possible because of Miguel who guided me through the famous places. I will never forget Sintra and those enchanted places that we cannot find anywhere else.
Miguel discussed many interesting facts that only a local would know. We highly recommend Miguel and will love to tour again on our next trip to Portugal.
I highly recommend guided tour of Lisbon and the surrounding area. I was impressed with the knowledge, enthusiasm and kindness of Miguel.
