The city of Évora was declared Human Heritage 30 years ago. This SocyHume conference is a great occasion to visit as all the events that will take place in this Roman, Medieval, and Modern Era city. We recommend our visitors to spend a minimum of 3 nights in Évora for this occasion. Please download our free Évora Guide Tour made by CIDEHUS members.
HOW TO GET TO Évora
There is also a night train from Madrid to Lisbon that leaves from the Madrid Atocha train station. You can buy “Cama Turista” (sleeper), which if bought about two months or one month and a half in advance can be purchased at half price (about 33 – 50 € each way!).
If you are in any other part of Europe or the world we recommend you to go by plane (Aeroporto de Lisboa). Once you arrive to Lisbon Airport, take either a taxi (about 12/15 Euros depending on the traffic jam) either the Underground (1,4 € plus the main Card Zapping which is 0´5€). You can choose to go to the Coach Station on the Train, both ways will take one hour and a half to arrive at Évora:
A bus: “Sete Rios” Bus Station is located in Jardim Zoologico Underground Station. Buses depart about every hour. Refer to the“Red espresso (click Here)”. The last bus departs at 22 hs. I recommend you to take a day ticket (12,5 €).
Both means of transport will take one hour and a half to get to Évora.
When you arrive at Evora Station (Tulio Espanca Street), you can walk to the city, or just take a TREVO bus (1 €) that runs from 9 hs. to 19 hs. approximately. Ask in the station for your hotel address. Keep the Trevo bus ticket because you can use it all day to move around the city.
By train:, you can also go from Sete Rios Station, for the same price but there are fewer trains, check the timetable in “Comboios de Portugal”, as there are only 3 trains per day.
We will soon post some hotels we recommend.
Have a nice trip!
