Evora and Vila Viçosa, secrets of the Southern Portugal

Évora, a one-day experience of what it would be like to wander around a medieval castle, with its high walls, crooked and narrow streets, an environment that is still so medieval and unique. The only Portuguese city that is part of the network of oldest European cities. This is due to the fact that the oldest traces of civilization in this area are more than 5000 years old, supported by the existence of cromlechs and dolmens in the Évora area. Liberalitas Julia was the name by which Évora was known during the Roman Empire, although the name Ébora was already known, probably derived from Celtic. With the Arab presence, this area regained relevance in the Iberian peninsula, restarted with the Christian conquest. It is still interesting to see that, without a tributary, this city did not cease to be relevant during its history. This tour of Évora, a museum city surrounded by a wall, considered a World Heritage Site by UNESCO since 1986, takes you on guided tours of the main monuments of this charming historic city in Alentejo.

Alfama: A Tuk Tuk Ride through Historical Lisbon

This Tuk-Tuk tour aims to introduce you to Ancient and Medieval Lisbon by driving you to the main attractions in Lisbon's oldest neighbourhood: Alfama. This tour starts at Praça da Figueira, at the very center of the city. We will start off by visiting the 900 year old Sé Cathedral of Lisbon, built in the Age of Crusades and proudly displaying the warlike spirit of the era. This is the oldest temple in Lisbon and one of the few Romanic Architecture churches that survived to the present day in Lisbon. Further up the hill we will visit the ruins of the Roman Amphitheater of Lisbon, built a humbling 2000 years ago and with the capacity to hold 4000 spectators it serves as a reminder of the city's importance in the Roman world of Antiquity. Next up on the itinerary we will take in the amazing view from the Portas do Sol (Sun Gate) lookout point. This picturesque belvedere peeks down at the very heart of the Alfama neighborhood and it's winding narrow streets, as well as the wide Tagus river on it's shore. Here once stood the Eastern Gate on Lisbon's medieval walls, hence the name it was given. As we arrive to the Monastery of Graça we enter the Middle Ages and the ever-present role of the Christian faith in the city's spirit. We will visit the inside of the Monastery and learn how monks and nuns lived in isolation inside the hundreds of monasteries and convents that dotted the hills of Lisbon. The Monastery's beautiful Chapter Room is laden with amazingly hand painted Azulejos, the graceful and shiny Portuguese tiles that have become a symbol of Portuguese decorative art. Outside the Monastery, a lookout point will allow us to take in the very center of Historical Lisbon, as well as the iconic medieval Castle of St George. Now we head down the hill and towards the riverside and the heart of Alfama, it's very oldest streets. On the way down we will stop to admire the Neoclassical façade of the Monastery of St Vincent, built to house the body of Medieval Lisbon's best loved Saint; as well as the National Pantheon: a former Convent transformed into a Mausoleum for Portugal's best and brightest minds in the fields of Art, Science and Sports. To finish our journey through Lisbon's ancient past we will take a walking tour through the narrow medieval streets of Alfama, this picturesque neighbourhood reminds one of a Medina due to it's labyrinthine streets and ever-present street vendors, where you can have a chance to try the traditional Ginjinha (Sour Cherry Liqueur) peddled by the neighbourhood's grandmas. Fado is a musical style that distills the essence of Portuguese culture and there is a good chance we might listen to it being sung in the streets of Alfama. Especially towards the evening.
