Lisbon is beautiful and fascinating at any time of year, but autumn has a very special charm.
The parks and gardens fill with new colors, the bars and restaurants become cozier and the streets smell of roasted chestnuts.
Do you want to (re)discover the charm of the city at this time of year? Come along, follow our itinerary and learn the bê-á-bá of this season.
The Afterwork
In the fall, the days get shorter and the night comes faster, but that doesn’t mean you have to go home right away.
Want a suggestion? Get the guys from work together and take them for a craft beer tasting in Lisbon’s most surprising bars.
B for Brunch
It’s so nice to stay in bed until all hours and have a meal without an appointment, isn’t it?
In Lisbon, brunch is in fashion and there’s no shortage of good suggestions for this unhurried moment, but here are our favoritespots where you’re sure to want to try everything and repeat it a few times.
C for Chestnuts
Roasted or boiled, at home, in the street or on a park bench, chestnuts have long been an obligatory fall ritual.
Who can resist a carton of them after smelling that good smell they spread around the city? Have you seen our guide to the best roasted chestnuts in the city?
D for Sunday
3D Fun Art is a museum with around 40 three-dimensional creations that make our eyes see things that seem impossible. Are you curious? Then let’s find out more about what you can find in this three-dimensional museum.

G de Ginjinha
To warm up the body (and the soul) there’ s nothing better than a ginjinha in one of these typical houses in Lisbon, after a stroll through Baixa.
Do you prefer it with or without them?
H for Halloween
The spookiest night of the fall (and of the year) is full of scares, ghosts and… parties.
Want to know what the tradition of this day is like out there? These are just a few examples we loved discovering!
I of Churches
Lisbon isn’t Rome, but there’s no shortage of churches to visit here either.
These are the churches we like best in the city… and these are the most disruptive!
J for Garden (Amoreiras)
In the fall, the ground of the Amoreiras Garden fills with fallen leaves and invites you to a romantic date.
Invite someone special, go to the Arpad Szenes Museum and the Mãe D`Água Reservoir and end the date with a hot chocolate at the garden kiosk.
K for Kaffeehaus
We love the charm and cozy atmosphere of this authentic Viennese café in the heart of Chiado.
If you don’t know it yet, go there and enjoy breakfast or brunch without an appointment.
L for Lisbon Boat Party
Are you one of those people who, when fall arrives, go into a state of denial and prefer to stay in summer mode?
Then the Lisbon Boat Party is definitely for you!
Music, drinks and lots of entertainment on a boat sailing along the Tagus is the promise of this floating party that will have several editions during Lisbon’s fall.
M for Monsanto
The city’s green lung takes on new colors in autumn. Go there to watch the leaves fall and admire the shades the treetops take on these days… and take the opportunity to visit the Monsanto Panoramic Viewpoint.
N by Night
In the fall, Lisbon’s nightlife leaves the rooftops and becomes cozier, but no less lively, in these clubs.
Another of our nightlife favorites takes place in a bar inside an 18th century tunnel, the Quimera Pub.

The Oceanarium
It’s no coincidence that the Lisbon Oceanarium receives over a million visitors every year.
Tourists and locals alike love to travel in this mysterious, underwater world that is the Lisbon Oceanarium, and these are just 10 reasons why you should (re)visit it.

P for Parque Eduardo VII
Lisbon’s most central park is one of the locals’ favorite places for autumn strolls.
A carpet of leaves awaits you, making you want to run through it like you did when you were a child. Try our itinerary in this park.
Q for Cheese
Why do cheeses, wines and sausages go so well together in the fall?
Forget the academic theories and find out the answer at the Wine Tasting Bar, which has some great snacks waiting for you.
R for River
The Tagus, our sea-sized river, deserves to be admired and enjoyed.
For that, there’s nothing better than following our guide to make the most of it.
S for Scones
Of all the pleasures of fall, few beat the sensation of eating a warm scone, fresh out of the oven, accompanied by a steaming cup of tea.
If you’re looking for a cozy place to do this, don’t miss Casa de Chá de Santa Isabel (also known as As Vicentinas), on Rua de São Bento.
T for Theater
A play always feels good on an autumn evening. So here’s a list of shows with various plays and other performances on stage, from comedies to more intense dramas.
U de Ulisses
Luvaria Ulisses is one of the many historic stores that are already part of the city’s imagination.
Even if you don’t wear gloves, go to Rua do Carmo and discover the charm of this house founded in 1925.
V for Wine
A glass of wine in good company always tastes good. In the A Taste of Lisbon experience you can choose from wine tastings in a mysterious place in Lisbon.

W for Web Summit
It promises to be, once again, the biggest event of this fall in Lisbon… and perhaps of the year in the city.
Between November 10 and 13, the city will welcome thousands of geeks and entrepreneurs, but also many well-known people, such as tennis player Maria Sharapova; Mercedes F1® CEO Toto Wolff; or Alex Schultz, CMO of Meta; among many others. And, of course, you!
If you’re there, remember a few spots to go after the various sessions.
X de Xabregas
The eastern part of Lisbon is in fashion and Xabregas is taking advantage of the wave to showcase the best it has to offer.
The Marítima de Xabregas, the Ibério Theatre and the EKA Palace are three must-see spots in the neighborhood.
Yoga Y
Want to warm up your fall days? Then try a Hot Vinyasa Yoga class. Let’s sweat it out and detox?
Z for Zazah
In Lisbon’s fall, there are also days of good weather when you feel like going to a terrace to soak up the precious rays of sunshine.
If you’re going to do it, do it in a big way. Go to Zazah and celebrate the best of this season.
