Sports and Leisure Lisbon

Budget & Tips

What's very local

To run or cycle, you have cycle paths along the Tagus, either from Cais do Sodré or from the other side of the city, to Parque das Nações. Along the coast, you have maritime walks, such as in Algiers, Oeiras, Estoril and Cascais. It is less often thought of, as it is not necessarily accessible by public transport, but Monsanto offers interesting opportunities for walking, running or cycling. There is a 42 km track network!

To be booked

If you want to participate in one of the two semi-marathons, remember to take your ticket well in advance

Main events

In March, the Lisbon half-marathon takes place. It is the most important athletics event in the city and the only opportunity to cross the April 25 bridge on foot. In December, you have the half-marathon of the Discoveries which starts from the Plaça do Comercio to Belém. For two consecutive years, the Wanderlust festival, dedicated to yoga and all that is related to it, has also been held at the end of September.
