Known as the City-Museum or City of the Kings, Évora has over 2000 years of history, being classified as an UNESCO World Heritage Site. From the imposing historical monuments, to the simplicity of the white houses with colorful details, walking through the narrow streets of the city is like taking a trip back in time. Surrounded by vast walls of Roman heritage, the heart of the city is home to the University of Évora, the second oldest university in Portugal.
Between the hospitality of the locals and the mouth-watering gastronomy, Évora is a city that lives for students and provides a vibrant academic culture.
The Alentejo region is known for its stunning landscape, from the undulating plains where the sun hides, to the beaches of the Costa Vicentina. Alentejo is also, as the poet Manuel Alegre said, for those who choose it, a home.
