Absolutely worth a visit, and don't forget to visit the cloister and the roof for the best view on the Temple of Diana.

Even though we had very little time to visit Evora, we really enjoyed our brief visit to the cathedral. The cloisters are just stunning and we could get a beautiful view of the surrounding countryside.

We met Evora Univercity first grade newcommers where they have a weird ritual and give a tribute to town architecture. If you are lucky to meet this festival in fall, it just... More

Brilliant site - you must go up the stairs to the roof which offers fantastic views of the city and its surrounding countryside. You get a wonderful sense of location here and can see for miles across the plain to other hilltop fort settlements.
