Évora is three ages in one walled city: prehistoric stone circles older than Stonehenge, a Roman temple from the age of Augustus, and medieval streets lined with cork and marble. The most memorable sights sit outside the walls, on roads that punish a rental car. Travel private, with a guide who knows the dirt track to the Almendres cromlech and the real story behind the Chapel of Bones. Choose your day: the UNESCO city and the megaliths, a deep dive into Cartuxa wine, or the medieval village of Monsaraz above Lake Alqueva.
