The time change has already happened, the days are officially longer, and the urge to head straight home after work is fading. By now, what you really want is to relax on a terrace overlooking the Tagus, or sit at a viewpoint waiting for the sunset.
If you enjoy spending time outdoors, you’ll be glad to know that you now have even more reasons to explore Lisbon’s parks and gardens, as the City Council has decided to adjust the opening and closing times to align with daylight saving time.
