Getting to Évora

If you are driving in Portugal note that there are several highways with automatic-only toll systems: A4, A17, A22, A23, A24, A25, A28, A29, A41, A42. The easiest way to pay for these tolls is renting an automatic payment device (Via Verde) at your rent-a-car desk. This information is intended to simplify the planning of your trip but does not dispense with consulting the websites of public transport companies to confirm schedules and ticket prices at the conference date.
