Haven’t bought your Pão de Ló or Folar yet? And are you still missing the wine to pair with the roast kid for your Easter Sunday lunch? Here’s some advice: don’t leave everything to the last minute, because on April 5, store hours may change in Greater Lisbon.
To make sure you have everything you need for such a special occasion, we’ve put together a brief (and very practical) guide with the likely opening hours of Lisbon’s major supermarkets and hypermarkets on Easter Sunday.

Tip from Lisboa Secreta: EasterSunday is meant to be celebrated with family and without stress! Don’t assume everything will operate as on a completely normal day. Make a list of what you need, shop in advance, and, of course, don’t leave home without checking the hours of the supermarkets closest to your address.
