April is when Évora truly shines. The weather cooperates completely, wildflowers carpet the countryside, and the city buzzes with just enough energy without feeling crowded.
Weather
April brings consistently pleasant days with warm afternoons and cool evenings perfect for strolling. Rain becomes rare - maybe a brief shower every few days. The famous Alentejo light starts showing its golden quality.

All Months
April through June gives you perfect weather and wildflowers covering the plains. Temperatures sit in the comfortable 20s, and you can walk all day without melting. September and October work just as well, with harvest season adding energy to the countryside.
July and August turn Évora into an oven. Temperatures regularly hit 40°C, and those cobblestones become foot-burning surfaces by noon. If you must visit in summer, start early and take long afternoon breaks.
Winter brings rain and surprisingly cold nights, but also solitude. The Roman Temple looks dramatic under grey skies, and restaurant fireplaces actually get used. Just pack layers — Alentejo winters are drier than the coast but still chilly.
