Day Trips From Lisbon

A full 10-hour day from Lisbon built around Évora and the wine country beyond it. The old centre and its chapel come first, then a winery stop before the long drive back.

Overview

This is a full-day trip out of Lisbon built around three stops: the historic city of Évora, the ruined castle at Montemor-o-Novo, and a family-run Alentejo winery. The group is capped at 8 guests and travels in an 8-seat air-conditioned minivan. A local guide leads the walking portion in Évora, and the day finishes with a guided tasting of 4 regional wines among the vineyards.

In Évora, the itinerary covers the Chapel of Bones, whose entry ticket is included, plus photo stops at the Sé de Évora and the Roman Temple. After the guided walk there is free time for lunch and wandering, which one reviewer described as a relaxed pace with lots of history and good wine. The stop at Montemor-o-Novo Castle is shorter, about half an hour, with views over the Alentejo plains.

The day runs about 10 hours door to door, including roughly 1.5 hours of driving each way between Lisbon and Évora. Hotel pickup is not included; everyone meets at the operator's agency on Rua da Conceição in central Lisbon, and the return drop-off options include Praça Martim Moniz in Lisbon.
