Hot air balloon flight over the Alentejo at sunrise, then a guided walk through Évora's Roman Temple of Diana, Cathedral, and Chapel of Bones (Capela dos Ossos). The flight is shared; the transport and guide are private.

 

The balloon climbs over the Alentejo's open countryside at sunrise, about an hour in the air and shared with other passengers by weight limit rather than group size. After landing, a 4x4 brings you into Évora for a private guided walk through the Roman Temple of Diana, the Cathedral, and the Chapel of Bones (Capela dos Ossos), its interior walls built from human bones. Built for travelers who want the Alentejo from the air and on foot, rather than choosing one or the other. The early departure buys clear skies for the flight and empty streets in Évora before the coach groups arrive.

HOW IT RUNS

A balloon's departure time isn't set until the pilot checks conditions that morning; a guide booked separately usually is. Here, your guide's schedule moves with the balloon's actual timing, so a weather delay doesn't leave you waiting on someone who started without you.

Hotel Pickup, Lisbon

A private vehicle collects you from your Lisbon city-center hotel around 4 AM for the drive into the Alentejo. Balloons fly calmest near sunrise, before the day's wind builds, so the early start is what gets you in the air rather than grounded.

Hot Air Balloon Flight, Alentejo Countryside

You board with other passengers, capacity here is set by the balloon's weight limit, not by WE, so the flight is shared, for roughly an hour in the air over the open Alentejo countryside. From inflation to landing, the activity runs about 1h 15m. The pilot makes the final call on flying based on wind and visibility; if conditions force a postponement, the flight is rescheduled at no extra cost, not cancelled outright.

Landing & Transfer to Évora

A 4x4 vehicle meets you at the landing site and drives you into Évora's old town, so there's no separate arrangement to make between a rural landing spot and the city center.

Roman Temple of Diana & Évora Cathedral

Your expert guide meets you in Évora for a walking tour of the UNESCO-listed historic center, taking in the Roman Temple of Diana and the Cathedral of Évora, the guide handling the city portion is a different specialist from the balloon crew, on foot rather than in the basket.

Chapel of Bones (Capela dos Ossos)

Entry is included. Your guide walks you through the chapel, its interior walls built from the bones of thousands of monks, before continuing through Évora's remaining historic streets.

 

Return to Lisbon

The same private vehicle takes you back to your Lisbon hotel, closing the loop without a second transfer to book.

Good to Know

  • Ideal for: couples, families with children old enough for the balloon's height requirement, and travelers who want the Alentejo from the air and on foot in one day.

  • Children: welcome from age 6, provided they're at least 1.20 m tall and accompanied by an adult — a requirement set by the balloon operator, not by WE.

  • Languages: Portuguese, English, and Spanish. Other languages available on request.

  • Walking: Évora's old town has cobbled, uneven streets — comfortable walking shoes recommended.

  • Physical level: moderate. Getting in and out of the balloon basket takes some mobility, and there's no seating during the flight.

  • Weather: hot air balloon flights depend on wind and visibility. If the operator postpones for safety, your flight is rescheduled at no extra cost.

  • Best time to visit: balloon flights run year-round, but the Alentejo's drier months (spring through autumn) tend to bring more stable wind conditions.

  • Dietary requirements: let us know about any dietary requirements or allergies when booking, we'll do our best to accommodate them.
