As it's a public building, anyone can enter and leave at any time (depending, of course, of the University's schedule). Great place to take some photos and the building itself is not far from other beautiful attractions in Evora.

Not much to see and no guide as to what is available - not really worth a visit. It may be different if you go with a guide.

I stumbled upon the university during a hot afternoon's exploration of Evora and found a place of cool tranquility. I enjoyed wandering about and enjoyed a tasty lunch at a price that students would be happy to pay. It was also interesting experiencing a natural Portuguese environment with not a tourist in sight!

We went with a guide and were able to see different classrooms and the library, might not be the best or most modern place to study but the buildings tells a story worth seeing!

You can simply walk in and go through the corridors. Old rooms still being used for lectures! Worth a visit, even if not all guides advise you.

Walk around in this beautiful old building, check out the lecture halls and have (a cheap) lunch in the cafeteria with the students.
