The best photos of Evora aren't always at the obvious landmarks. Sure, Temple of Diana and Evora Cathedral will fill your camera roll, but the real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, and the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot. Seek out University of Evora for the kind of shot that no one else is posting.
A walled Alentejo city with a Roman temple, a medieval cathedral, and a bone chapel — a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The audio walking tour can include stops such as Temple of Diana — a remarkably well-preserved 1st-century Roman temple in the city center, Evora Cathedral — a Romanesque-Gothic fortress-cathedral begun in 1186 with a cloister and museum, Chapel of Bones — a chapel in the Church of St. Francis lined with the bones and skulls of over 5,000 people, plus hidden gems like University of Evora — a 16th-century Jesuit institution with a beautiful cloister decorated with azulejo tiles and Megalithic sites — the Almendres Cromlech near Evora is one of the largest megalithic complexes in Europe, older than Stonehenge.

Evora attracts visitors for history and architecture, and Temple of Diana and Evora Cathedral and every landmark doubles as a photography opportunity when you know where to stand and when the light is best. A photography-focused walk pays attention to reflections, leading lines, and street scenes between the landmarks. Hidden photogenic spots like University of Evora reward those who wander off the main path.
The walled old town is compact and walkable. Start at the Praca do Giraldo and walk uphill to the temple and cathedral — about 10 minutes.
March through June and September through November. The Alentejo is extremely hot in summer.
