About this experience
Instead of traveling directly from Lisbon to the Algarve, take a scenic countryside route and discover some of the most charming and historic destinations of Alentejo. Along the way, you’ll visit the UNESCO World Heritage city of Évora, a museum-city full of history dating back to Roman times, including highlights such as the Roman Temple of Diana, the Cathedral, and the Chapel of Bones. Continue to the medieval village of Monsaraz, perched atop a hill with breathtaking views over the Alentejo plains and the Alqueva Lake.
This private tour offers a perfect blend of history, culture, and stunning landscapes, allowing you to experience the authentic Alentejo before arriving at your accommodation in the Algarve region.
