Cheops Horizon: an immersive journey to Ancient Egypt
After conquering major metropolises, state-of-the-art virtual reality has arrived in the heart of Lisbon. On this immersive expedition, you won’t just see images; you’ll walk around the Giza Plateau, enter the Great Pyramid and witness ancient rituals as if you were really there, 4,500 years ago. It’s one of the most impressive technological experiences we’ve ever seen in Lisbon, one of the best of 2025, and one that will sell out many sessions in 2026 (we’re sure).
Where: Terreiro do Paço Metro Station (Underground Room)
Tickets: at Fever
Candlelight Concerts
The worldwide phenomenon of candlelit concerts continues to illuminate Lisbon’s most iconic venues. In 2026, the program expands to pay homage to everything from Vivaldi’s classics to rock and pop icons such as Queen, Coldplay and Hans Zimmer, always in an atmosphere of absolute intimacy.
Where: various locations
Tickets: choose your favorites at Fever
The Jury Experience: the court is in your hands
Forget the role of passive spectator. In this immersive theater piece, you and the rest of the audience take on the role of jurors. You will have to analyze evidence, listen to testimonies and deliberate on the guilt or innocence of the defendant. Each session can have a different ending, depending on your decision.
Where: National Pharmacy Association Auditorium
Tickets: choose your session at Fever
Visit to Casa da Amália
We go there every year and it continues to surprise us on every visit, simply because there is so much to know and explore about the life of our great fado singer. If you’re also looking for the authenticity and soul of Lisbon, a visit to the house where the Diva of Fado lived for 44 years is a must. In 2026, in addition to the guided tours that reveal Amália’s secrets and personal objects, the “Fado in the Garden” sessions continue, providing a unique moment of connection to Portuguese tradition.
Where: Rua de São Bento 193
Tickets: for a visit to the house and for the fado session in the garden
Le Cabaret Rock by Custom Circus
If you’re looking for something really out of the box, Le Cabaret Rock is the answer. Created by the irreverent Custom Circus company, this show mixes steampunk aesthetics, theatrical madness and a post-apocalyptic energy you won’t find anywhere else. It’s visually breathtaking and deeply original.
Where: Nirvana Studios (Estrada Militar, 66 – Queluz de Baixo)
Tickets: at Fever
The Jazz Room: a musical journey to New Orleans
Jazz gets a new home with a show that transports the audience to the heart of the New Orleans clubs. With excellent musicians and a vibrant atmosphere, it’s the perfect way to end the week with good music and a cocktail in hand.
Where: Time Out Market – Mercado da Ribeira (Avenida 24 de Julho) and Impact Hall (Lisbon)
Tickets: live music at Fever
Stages 2026: the plays you have to see
Theater in Lisbon in 2026 is marked by great returns and new productions that defy convention:
- “Mothers”
- A moving comedy about motherhood that continues to sell out. At Teatro Villaret (Avenida Fontes Pereira de Melo 30A);
- “At First Sight
- Intense legal drama that tackles issues of justice and gender. At the Maria Matos Theater (Avenida Frei Miguel Contreiras 52);
- “In the Heights” and “Evita”
- Musicals at Teatro Variedades (Parque Mayer), bringing Broadway to Lisbon.
Ah Amália: a futuristic journey through the artist’s life
This is undoubtedly the great technological innovation of 2025 and promises to continue to dazzle in 2026. It’s no longer just a matter of hearing the Diva’s voice; this exhibition uses Artificial Intelligence, holograms and virtual reality to take you on an immersive journey through Amália Rodrigues’ legacy. It’s a sensory dive that crosses Fado’s past with the future of visual storytelling, allowing you to “feel” the artist’s presence in a way you’ve never been able to before.
Where: Praça David Leandro da Silva 8 (8 Marvila)
Tickets: choose the day and time of your visit at Fever
Whether you’re a history buff, a music lover or a new technology enthusiast, 2026 promises to be a year of constant discoveries on the streets of the capital.
