Évora city and its immediate suburbs have a very cheap local bus service. Most routes do not operate a weekends however. The most useful routes for visitors are numbers 51 and 52 (Linha Azul) which connect the bus station and the historic centre. Some buses also call the railway station, which is n the edge of town.

Évora is a remarkably walkable city, particularly within its historic center, which is enclosed by ancient Roman and medieval walls. Most of the primary sites, such as the Roman Temple of Diana, the Évora Cathedral, and the famous Bone Chapel (Capela dos Ossos), are located within a 10-to-15-minute walk of the central Praça do Giraldo. The streets are largely cobblestoned and narrow, so wearing comfortable, sturdy walking shoes is a non-negotiable requirement. For destinations slightly outside the city walls or for those with limited mobility, there are small "Linha Azul" (Blue Line) electric minibuses that circulate through the historic core. Taxis and rideshare services like Uber and Bolt are also readily available and very affordable for short trips. If you wish to explore the surrounding Alentejo countryside to see the prehistoric megaliths (Cromeleque dos Almendres), it is best to rent a car for the day or join a local guided tour, as public transport to these rural archaeological sites is infrequent and can be difficult to coordinate.
