Évora is a gem! Well worth the trip from Lisbon! The Temple of Diana and Chapel of Bones are “must sees!” My driver, Carlos, was very accommodating and also facilitated an “up close” view of the aqueduct, and free time after lunch for me to visit the cathedral (ADMISSION IS CASH ONLY). The view from the tower is amazing! I also squeezed in a bit of shopping (prices are better than in Lisbon). I visited on Sunday, so many restaurants (I assume the better ones) were closed. The day was capped off with a wine tasting at a family owned/operated winery that received the “best white wine worldwide!” The wine was truly memorable. Even if you have taken a wine tour in Porto, I strongly recommend booking one in Lisbon. The experiences are totally different (both wonderful). Do your homework and let the driver know what you want to see!
