Halloween is just around the corner, with lots of plans for fun. In the spirit of the season, we went in search of the spookiest places in Lisbon for our readers.

And the answers couldn’t have been more hilarious! We read everything from scathing responses to some of the places in Portuguese government to more personal details, such as kids’ bedrooms after a day of play.

Shall we take a look at some of the scary places in Lisbon?
