The event will be attended by singer Micaela and actress Débora Monteiro, who will be handing out flowers and smiles, accompanied by the band Original Bandalheira. Students from the Lisbon School of Commerce will also take part, reinforcing the spirit of sharing between generations.

A 360º view of Lisbon
The Amoreiras 360º Panoramic View is Lisbon’s highest viewpoint, where mothers and children can share and photograph unforgettable moments.
Theater plays
If your mother likes culture, take her to see one of the many plays on stage in the city.
If you don’t have any references for her, or you don’t know what she likes best, whether it’s a comedy or a more intense drama, follow our guide to plays in Lisbon with some of the most exciting stories.
The immersive play “The Death of the Raven” is our suggestion, and we’re sure it will surprise your mother with the originality and dynamics of this whole project, which is not very common in Lisbon.
Spas, massages and saunas
Every mother deserves a very special pampering on this day. But how about accompanying her on these experiences?
Our guides to the best spas, the most relaxing massages and the most invigorating saunas in Lisbon are just a few suggestions that promise a good time for two, or more, depending on the number of children.
If you want to opt for a relaxing getaway, our advice is to add these spa resorts to your car’s GPS.
Tickets to candlelit concerts
If your mother likes flowers, then you really must take her to a classical music concert by candlelight, in places that are always spectacular.
The big difference with the traditional Candlelight concerts is that these will also have flowers, lots of flowers, which are sure to give the whole intimate atmosphere an even more special glow.
Living Van Gogh” exhibition
In 2024, we visited “Living Van Gogh” and simply loved this immersive exhibition at the Mãe d’Água Reservoir in Amoreiras.
It’s an excellent plan for kids and adults alike, with various interactive installations and virtual reality equipment ; all for an unparalleled dive into the mind and work of Van Gogh, one of the greatest painters of all time.
Gift voucher
If you’ve made it this far, it’s because none of our ideas can satisfy your mother and make this a very special day, but that’s okay, because the app where you can book and buy tickets for various types of attractions in the city, Fever, also has gift cards, ranging from €20 to €80, which can then be exchanged for Fever experiences in restaurants, culture and shows, Candlelight concerts, courses and workshops, exhibitions, among many other activities.
We’re sure Fever will have something to surprise you on Mother’s Day.
