Evora Old Town
Evora is a UNESCO-listed walled town in the Alentejo region of Portugal, with a Roman temple, a medieval cathedral, a bone chapel, and whitewashed streets. Free to walk. The Temple of Diana (2nd century, free to see from outside) and the cathedral (paid, modest) are the anchors. Budget travelers take the cheap bus from Lisbon (1.5 hours) and discover a town that feels like a miniature Rome dropped into the Portuguese countryside.
