  Queima das Fitas

  22–30 magGrande festaAffollatoPrenota presto

  The oldest of the Portuguese student weeks: it opens with the midnight serenade on the Se Velha steps, in silence, and ends with the faculties parading in their colours through the Baixa. Rooms go months ahead. Fonte ↗

  Santos Populares

  1–30 giu · di solitoFesta religiosaAffollato

  June brings neighbourhood arraiais with grilled sardines, basil pots and dancing, centred on Santo António dos Olivais for the 13th and the marchas of Norton de Matos. Smaller and more local than Lisbon's or Porto's. Fonte ↗

  Festas da Rainha Santa Isabel

  1–15 lug · di solitoFesta religiosaAffollato

  Mondego valley heat

  1 lug – 31 agoCaldo estremo

  The valley sits far enough from the sea to lose the Atlantic breeze, and the university hill is all stone stairs in full sun. Sightseeing here is a morning job in high summer. Fonte ↗

  Caminhos do Cinema Português

  8–25 nov · di solitoFestival del cinema

  Christmas market and lights

  25 nov – 23 dic · di solitoNatale e CapodannoAffollato

  Wooden stalls of crafts, smoked sausage and sweets fill the Praça do Comércio in the Baixa, with lights strung along the shopping streets and concerts on weekends. Modest, but it brings the lower town to life in the evenings. Fonte ↗
