I see that there a number of hotels in Evora but can anyone recommend a guesthouse type place?
If possible I would prefer something like this as I feel as if I get to see a more local side of life.We will be on public transport so that is a definite consideration
Thanks for any advice

Hi! In Evora I saw this wall tablet with a cross and two chopped arms: http://www.flickr.com/photos/63774505@N00/3007140523. Does anyone know what this symbol means and on what kind of building it was?
(It probably was in the Rua Serpa Pinto.)

Thanks!

Evora to Badajoz by bus
Posted: Tue November 13, 2007 02:21 AM UTC

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.

Transport to Tavira
Posted: Sun April 16, 2006 04:24 AM UTC

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

Trains between Evora and Spain??
Posted: Tue August 30, 2005 09:54 PM UTC

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!!

Marianne.

Getting to Evora
Posted: Wed September 15, 2004 01:04 PM UTC

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

guide for hire
Posted: Mon June 28, 2004 01:38 AM UTC

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

cheap sleeps - Evora area
Posted: Fri June 20, 2003 07:07 PM UTC

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
