Tour Dia Inteiro Évora offers a comprehensive 8-hour excursion that guides travelers through this compelling landscape packed with ancient relics and cultural treasures. This adventure's centerpiece is the impressive Cromeleque dos Almendres, often dubbed the “Stonehenge Português,” a remarkable megalithic site featuring over ninety granite monoliths dating back some 6,000 years. These standing stones reveal the advanced astronomical and ceremonial knowledge of early settlers, creating a unique connection between past and present.
The journey continues into the heart of Évora’s historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
