Citorah says

Évora is the longest day on this list and also the one you'll keep thinking about. It's the capital of the Alentejo, a UNESCO-listed walled city with a Roman temple in the middle of it, a chapel decorated with the bones of 5,000 monks, and a wine region that produces the reds you've been drinking all week and not paying attention to.

From Best Day Trips from Lisbon 2026: Eight That Are Worth the Train, under “Évora”.

    Capela dos Ossos

    Citorah says Be there at opening because for the first fifteen minutes you have the 5,000-skeleton chapel essentially to yourself, and that's the only way to do it — the entrance inscription is "Nós ossos que aqui estamos pelos vossos esperamos" (we bones here are waiting for yours) and you don't want a German tour group reading it over your shoulder.

    Templo Romano

    Citorah says From the chapel, walk five minutes up to the Templo Romano (the 1st-century Roman temple, free, in a square)
