The experience
About this quest
Be the hero of a city game where you will navigate Évora, one of Portugal’s most charming cities.
You will learn about the city’s rich past and ancient, multicultural heritage. From Iberian Celtics to Romans to North African Moors, you will explore all of Évora’s famous landmarks that celebrate those who have passed here throughout the centuries.
Évora may seem quiet on the surface but within lie many secrets. Are you ready to uncover them?
Is this for you?
Who it's for
Couples and families with school-age children on a day trip from Lisbon will see Évora's main sights in about two hours, from the aqueduct and Roman Temple to the Cathedral, Praça do Giraldo and the Chapel of Bones, solving a puzzle at each stop. If you want a live guide to quiz on Roman and Moorish history, or 2.9 km on foot is too much, pick another option.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a city game I can play in Évora?
Yes. This is a self-guided game played on your phone. The app walks you through Évora's landmarks, tells the story of each place, from Iberian Celts to Romans and Moors, and sets a puzzle in what is in front of you. You can start whenever you like.
Where does the quest start and finish?
It starts at Porta d'Aviz and finishes at Palácio de Dom Manuel, so it does not end where it began. Along the way you pass the Aqueduto da Água de Prata, the Roman Temple, the Cathedral, Praça do Giraldo and the Chapel of Bones, among other stops.
How long does it take and how far is the walk?

Is it good for kids?
