Does anyone know how to get from Evora to Badajoz by bus? I am looking at travelling this route in April 2008 but I can't find information on bus timetables? Can anyone assist with information? I have emailed the Evora Tourist Office but have not had a reply. It may have something to do with my dodgy Portugese language skills!

Thank you.

Does anyone how far it is between Evora & Tavira. How long is driving time?

Thanks

Can anyone recommend a tour group or driver to get 3 people to Evora for a day's visit? Lisbon to Evora, and return to Lisbon. Going either the 23rd or 24th of May. Thanks, this is my first trip to Europe!

We will be arriving Saturday, probably not until around 5 and then want to tour around Evora on Sunday. What will be open? My husband especially wants to see the Chapel of Bones. Will we be able to get into the Chapel -- or will it be closed for Mass in the Church?

Hello guys!!! I was wondering if theres a trasport... bus/train from Evora to Cordoba, does anybody know anything about this? thanks :)

I'm on my third try for organising my trip. Does anyone know it's possible to catch a bus or train to Seville from Evora. I've searched and searched and can't find a thing.

Cheers

Can anybody please suggest the best way to get from Evora to Tavira. It seems that Eva buses can do it via Lisbon and Faro but as I don't want to back track if I can help it.

Can I catch a train to Faro via Beja and then bus from the train station to Tavira? If so how do I organise this?

Any other suggestions would be appreciated

Thankyou

I am travelling to Portugal in June and hope to stay for a few days in Evora. Has anyone stayed in Hotel Solar de Monfalim, it looks traditional and in a good location but can't find any reviews.
Any ideas for' must sees' or unusual places to visit in the area. Is it easy to drive to other destinations in Alentejo?
Obrigado

Hi all,
I'm going to be in Islantilla, Spain for a week and would like to pop up to Evora for a night.
I was told that it's about a 2 hour drive, is this accurate?
Also, I've been trying to look up train timetables in both the Spanish and Portugese sites but can only check national timetables.
Does anyone know if it's possible to travel from Islantilla to Evora by train or bus?

I'd really, really appreciate it if anyone could help me!!

Hi, All,

Is there another way (not via Elvas)?

Thanks

We are going to be in Evora in September and need some help.

Does anyone know anything about Albergaria Vitoria Hotel in Evora?? It is a small one with only 48 rooms and I cannot find out much about it.

Thank you Vters. Esther & Mike

We're considering Evora as a short-break destination (coming from London) to celebrate my wife's birthday early next month. Do any travellers who know it have advice on: -
1) whether they think this a good idea;
2) getting there from Lisbon (train? bus? hire car?);
3) mid-range accommodation;
4) and/or unmissable places to see and in which to eat?

Many thanks in advance for any and all tips, Robin

As the youth hostel in Evora seems to be closed this year, I'm looking for other cheap acommodation (July 29-30th). Can anyone help me?
Thanks

Can anyone help me locate an English/Portugese speaking guide for an afternoon and evening. We are willing to pay a reasonable hourly rate and for their meal. We are easy-going travelers and will have an automobile. Our main goals are to visit Arraiolos during the day and Evora in the evening. My Portugese is limited to bom dia, obrigata and fala inglês, so we would need to be able to correspond in english.

Thank you

My mother and I will be in Evora on a Friday in September. We would like to stay within the city walls The Pousada dos Loios is over 200 euro a night which is more than I want to spend. Any other suggestions for a place to stay?

Obrigada

Hi,
I'm looking for a room or a small apartment in Évora for 5/6 months (feb-july) for a girl. Do you know any room/flat for rent?
cheers,

Is it possible to make a day trip from Evora to Monsaraz? And if we arrived in Monsaraz without reservation in October, would we have trouble finding a room for two?

Thanks

Hi,
Any recommendations for budget, comfy sleeps in Evora, Estremoz or marble villages area? Do I need to book ahead? (Sept.16 - 1 night). Also, we will be going on to Lisbon next. Should we drop our rental car and take a bus or train from Evora to Lisbon, or should we drive? How long does it take? If we drive, we plan to drop our car once we get to Lisbon. I've heard driving in Lisbon should be avoided. Would it be best to drop our car at the airport, then take a bus or taxi into the city?You excellent advise is appreciated.Marciajo

Does anyone know if there is a train or bus from Evora Portugal to Badajoz Spain? I'm trying to avoid International rental car drop off fees. I'd love to know the schedule and frequency of any public transportation. Thanks
