Discover the stories behind Évora

Our passion for Évora inspires us to share more than 45 stories that bring the city’s past to life.

Stories of love and betrayal, courage and ingenuity, friendship and family. Stories of ordinary people and remarkable figures who helped shape Portugal’s history. Forgotten customs that became traditions, legends rooted in the past, and curious details of everyday life that have survived through the centuries.

Évora has long been one of Portugal’s most important cities, a place sought after by rival powers and shaped by centuries of history.

On this walking tour, we’ll take you beyond the usual sights and introduce you to the stories and lesser-known secrets that most visitors never hear about. We’ll wander through the city’s charming streets, stop at meaningful places, and discover what happened there — and why it still matters today.

This isn’t a rigid, scripted tour. Our focus is on the stories, not simply on ticking monuments off a list. Depending on the visit, we may or may not enter some of Évora’s best-known monuments. What matters most is discovering the city in a relaxed, engaging and more personal way.

Come curious, walk with us, and discover Évora one storey at a time — a city where every stone holds a storey.
