Hi Evora is a great city with everything you might need. Not much to say about that. I just want to warn you about the heat!!!! Get ready to melt in summer time!!! I'm not joking....you can fry an egg on the floor!! Best wishes and bring tons of summer clothes!

Good choice! Évora is an old and historic city (with a university, that is one of the oldest in Europe (!!!!)) The place is good for familiy and children - alentejanos (the people from Alentejo), are very friendly, but you have to respect their customs! (for ex: there are many orange trees in Évora. Don't pick a single orange...) It has a very interesting cultural life. Shopping is so so. Jobs, you don't find a lot... PS - In summer, heat can really melt your brain. In winter, is also cold (well, for Portugal's standarts...)

Evora is too far to commute to Lisbon but if you want to relax then you have a good place. for jobs, entertainment and shopping no but to raise kids yes.

Evora is a small town in the middle of the country, in the part of Portugal called Alentejo. It is beautiful and with lots of history (the have some marvellous Roman ruins there). It is small and quiet and relatively safe for children. I don't think there will be a lot of job posibilities for foreigners there. The bus fra Evora to Lisbon takes approx. 2 hours.
