The weekend is there. Find out what you can see in Lisbon and Porto
There is culture ‘served’ by the tassel of Greater Lisbon and Greater Porto.
Time is undecided but this is no reason to demotivate.
Through Greater Lisbon and Greater Porto, there are cultural opportunities to enjoy. And, by the way, it never hurts to remember that there are monuments and museums around the country open on Sundays, free of charge.
Further north there is Ana Moura for listening on a feast day. To the south, there is music for the most varied tastes to enjoy. But attention! There are also exhibitions and workshops and talks and so much more to enjoy.
The best thing is to rest your wallet and look for the cultural suggestions and tassels that we have for you, in Greater Porto and Greater Lisbon, these days 19, 20 and 21 October.
