1 Best Sight in Évora and the Alentejo, Portugal

Centro Ciência Viva

Centuries ago this white stucco building was a convent, but now it's a quirky little science museum—a great stop if you have kids in tow. The exhibits have a special emphasis on local geology, including displays of the interesting dinosaur fossils excavated nearby. Nearly everything is interactive, making it one of the most high-tech museums in the region.
