When to go à LISBONNE ?
We can go to Lisbon all year round. You should choose spring (May) and autumn (end of September) to avoid most of the tourist season, while enjoying an already summery climate. However, be aware that it is not uncommon in winter to have beautiful sunny days with 20 degrees. Not bad to believe yourself in summer for a weekend... To immerse yourself in the culture, you have to go there in June or August, during the popular festivals.
Officially, the climate is oceanic temperate in the south of Portugal. So, mild and humid... and subject to the whims of the weather. Minimum temperatures range from 7.5 to 13°C and maximums from 17 to 31°C. On the whole, winters are never too cold (average temperatures between 5 and 12 °C) and summers are moderately hot (average temperatures between 21 and 25 °C).
If you have the choice, the best periods for a trip to Lisbon are spring and especially June (popular festivals), early summer (many festivals) before August (the time of vacations for the Portuguese, therefore higher prices) and early fall (before the rains).
Summer is of course the great season of festivals. June is one of the most interesting months for the festivals of St. Anthony, St. John and St. Peter, which are among the main events of the month. Also worth noting are the Santiago de Setúbal fair (end of July, beginning of August), the bullfighting week in Vila Franca de Xira (June), the Almada theater festival (July), the Palmela grape harvest festival, the Seixal jazz festival (October) or the many summer music festivals.

Discover LISBONNE
Because of its geographical location, Lisbon was very early the object of all covetousness and occupied by peoples from all walks of life. The result of these multiple invasions can be seen above all in the architecture and cuisine. Despite everything, the Portuguese were able to appropriate these influences to make them their own traditions and know-how. This is how the Arab mosaics became azulejos, those beautiful earthenware tiles present on the facades and inside the buildings. From popular laments was born the fado, which can be heard all over Lisbon, wandering the streets. Lisbon is as popular as ever today. It is now the artists who come to leave their mark with street art frescoes everywhere. Not forgetting the mythical yellow tramway of the 1930s, a bit of a cliché, but a symbol of the sublime Lisbon
