Discover Lisbon in September
September is widely regarded as one of the best times to visit Lisbon, with warm temperatures, golden evenings and a packed calendar of festivals and cultural events. The intensity of the midsummer heat gives way to more comfortable days, while the city’s famous viewpoints become even more magical at sunset as golden light stretches across the terracotta rooftops and the Tagus River.
Visitors arriving at the end of August can experience MEO Kalorama, one of Portugal’s leading music festivals, where famed singer Robbie Williams is headlining, for an unforgettable weekend of live performances in the beautiful surroundings of Parque da Bela Vista.
Throughout September, Lisbon continues to buzz with events, including MOTELX – Lisbon International Horror Film Festival, which transforms cinemas across the city with premieres and special screenings, and Iminente Festival, celebrating Lisbon’s contemporary creative scene through music, street art, gastronomy and culture.
As the evenings draw in, visitors can enjoy open-air film screenings at CineCapitólio Rooftop, where movie favourites including E.T., Pretty Woman and The Devil Wears Prada 2 are shown beneath the stars. With many films shown in English with Portuguese subtitles, you can simply sit back, relax and enjoy a memorable night of cinema overlooking Lisbon’s illuminated skyline – no Portuguese required.
Along the banks of the Tagus River, waterfront terraces, live music venues, sunset bars and riverside restaurants create the perfect setting for long evenings spent dining al fresco and soaking up Lisbon’s atmosphere.
Relax and recharge after a day of sightseeing
Designed by renowned architect Miguel Saraiva and managed by Amazing Evolution, Luster Hotel celebrates Portuguese heritage through contemporary design, local craftsmanship and artistic collaborations.
