Lisbon Festivals

Throughout June, Lisbon is dominated by saints days, which give the festival its name, Santos Populares. The people celebrate with a program of cultural events, street parties and prayers. Cultural events take place throughout June, but the main saints' days are for Anthony (13 June), John (23-24 June) and Peter (28-29 June). Lisbon is a historic capital, a potpourri of unusual character and charm, where 800 years of cultural influences mingle with modern trends and life styles creating spectacular contrasts in a friendly atmosphere. Fado is, par excellence, the music of Lisbon. It is today one of the most noble and genuine products of Portuguese popular culture.

Let your memory be your travel bag",
