Types of Campsites in Évora
Mass tourism is still a foreign concept here, so most campsites in the area are small-scale. This perfectly matches the peaceful and charming character of the surroundings. The campsites are well-equipped with essential facilities, and many also offer a swimming pool. A refreshing dip is always welcome, especially as temperatures can rise significantly during the peak season!

The Capital, Évora
It’s widely agreed that anyone holidaying in Alentejo should not leave without visiting the city of Évora. Set on a hill and filled with charming white houses, many consider Évora to be one of the most delightful cities in Portugal. Its historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage site, known for its winding narrow streets and hidden squares. The lively atmosphere is enhanced by the thousands of students who call the city home.
Sights in Évora
It only takes a moment to understand why this city is a World Heritage Site. Take your time wandering through the old streets, and make sure to stop at these highlights:
Capela dos Ossos
This “Chapel of Bones” from the 16th century is certainly a unique and somewhat eerie attraction, housing the remains of around five thousand skeletons from overcrowded cemeteries. It’s an unforgettable visit during your stay at a campsite in Évora.
Templo Romano de Évora
This Roman temple stands at the heart of the historic centre, occupying one of the highest points of the city. It’s an impressive sight that’s hard to miss!
Sé de Évora
Close to the Roman temple, you’ll find this remarkable cathedral. It’s one of the oldest and most significant monuments in the city.
Festivities in Évora
If you’ve visited Portugal before, you’ll know that religious traditions run deep here. Most of the traditional festivals take place in June. If you’re staying at one of our campsites in Évora during this period, don’t miss the chance to experience a local celebration up close. June 29th, the Day of San Pedro, is especially noteworthy. This tribute to the local patron saint is celebrated in only a few places, with Évora being one of them.
