Évora Free Tour: Mystical Days
Overview
Among the various itineraries we offer, we present here the most classic one: the ROMAN ÉVORA JOURNEY.
About 2,000 years ago, the city of Ebora flourished for four centuries, becoming one of the most prestigious cities in the Roman province of Lusitania. Even today, the city preserves historical traces from that period that can be explored.
The tour begins next to the statue of Garcia de Resende in Évora’s Public Garden, passing through the gate in the city wall. The first stop is the Évora Interpretation Center, still within the garden.
From there, we head to Praça do Giraldo, following the remains of the ancient aqueduct to City Hall, where we visit the Roman Baths.
The route continues on foot along the ancient Roman city wall to the Jardim dos Colegiais.
The next stop takes us to the Páteo de São Miguel, the site of the city’s ancient castle.
Finally, we proceed to the iconic Roman Temple, where this historical journey concludes.
This activity includes:
- Templo Romano Évora
- Jardim dos Colegiais
- Arco Romano de Dona Isabel
- Jardim Público de Évora
- Um guia amigável
- Acompanhamento em Português e Inglês
- Conhecimentos sobre astronomia, geologia, biologia, história, ocultismo místico e sabedoria da natureza

In addition to the “Roman Évora” Tour, the following are available:
MEGALITHIC TOUR: A tour of ancient megalithic monuments, including the Grande Anta do Zambujeiro and the mystical Cromeleque dos Almendres, following lunar and solar symbolism.
ENDOVÉLICO JOURNEY: A nature hike along the Ribeira do Lucefécit stream to the Endovélico Sanctuary, one of the holiest sites in Celtic Lusitania.

Choose your Journey or customize your own path through the “1-Day Guide” option, where our wise and friendly guide will accompany you on an itinerary tailored to your schedule.
For itineraries to monuments outside the city, transportation is included, and the trip may take up to about 35 minutes.
In the summer, it can sometimes get very hot, and in the winter, it can sometimes get very cold. But if you’re okay with that and wear appropriate clothing, we’ll be there with you. Itineraries may be subject to change due to changes in accessibility to the monuments or the guide’s availability.
