[2025 Evora Attraction] Travel Guide for Cathedral of Évora (Updated Apr)

Évora, Portugal is an unforgettable place! It’s only an hour and a half drive from Lisbon. Whether it’s spring, summer, autumn or winter, it’s a good time to visit Évora. When walking in the old town, you may even encounter peacocks strolling leisurely on the street. What an interesting sight! 🦚✨ - Speaking of Évora, many friends would rather give up Porto and put this place on their must-visit list, which is really curious! Not only is this city listed as a World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO, it has also experienced the rule of Goths, Visigoths and Muslims, leaving behind many well-preserved medieval buildings. Walking down the street, you’ll feel like you’ve walked into a history book, with every corner telling stories from the past. 🏰📜 - First of all, the Catedral de Évora is definitely a highlight! This is the largest medieval cathedral in Portugal. The shape of the spire reminds people of the Fisherman’s Bastion in Hungary. It is a great place to take photos and check in! 💛 - The Capela dos Ossos is even more special. When you walk in, you will be shocked by the skull decorations, as if you are having an "intimate contact" with history. 💀

Évora Cathedral took my breath away with its towering Gothic splendor and panoramic rooftop views. Just steps away, the Chapel of Bones offered a hauntingly beautiful reminder of life's fragility. A journey through history, art, and reflection all in one visit!

A must see in Evora! For 4.50€/person you can visit the tower/rooftop/terrace/cloister/church/museum, everything is impressive and you can spend at least 1 hour here. From above you can see a panoramic view of Évora, the view is amazing. There are also many narrow staircases and some very steep spiral staircases. Remember that people have to go back and forth on some of the same sections so it's OK to wait for slow people or just wait your turn. I also liked that there was a section where you felt like you were at Hogwarts yourself. #2024TravelWish
