October 26 at 6:30pm +3
FICA - Oficina Criativa · Lisboa
Learn the ancient art of woodworking joints using only hand tools. Over three sessions at FICA, you'll master mortise and tenon, T-fork, and maybe even castle joints, no nails, no screws, just wood fitting wood.
October 29 at 10am
Artlier - Escola de Artes e Ofícios · Lisboa • 70 €
One granny square and suddenly you're crocheting blankets, bags, maybe a whole wardrobe. This beginner-friendly workshop covers all seven stitches, chart reading, and the elusive magic loop, with hook and yarn included.
October 26 at 7pm
Fábrica Braço de Prata · Lisboa • Free
One Monday night, six ways into Brazilian music and dance: free first classes in forró and passista, a community choir, bloco rehearsals, and a pay-what-you-can Sarapatel Session to close it out.
October 26 at 2pm +1
Artlier - Escola de Artes e Ofícios · Lisboa • 170 €
Four Mondays, one blank canvas, zero experience required. Artlier's acrylic workshop walks you from first brushstrokes to a finished still-life painting, with all materials included.
Every day at 10am
National Pantheon · Lisboa • 10 €
Marking the centenary of Júlio Pomar, this exhibition fills the Panteão Nacional with the Portuguese master's lifelong fascination with horses, from his 1959 D. Quixote to the sweeping 1989 triptych Tropel.
Every day from Sep. 18 to Nov. 1
Largo Defensores da República · Charneca • Free
A Lisbon neighborhood turns its streets into an archive: 500+ photos, documents, and testimonies donated by residents line the square, tracing Charneca do Lumiar's festivals, families, and football lore.
Every day at 6pm from Sep. 18 to Nov. 1
Church São Bartolomeu da Charneca · Lisboa • Free
A Lisbon neighborhood tells its own story. This free street exhibition fills public displays near Igreja de São Bartolomeu with residents' photographs, documents, and memories tracing Charneca's schools, festivals, sports, and changing streets, with guided tours and workshops to go deeper.
Every day at 6pm from Oct. 22 to Nov. 26
Appleton · Lisboa
Step into a world where sculpture meets spellcraft. Mané Pacheco's "Hierofania" maps out amulets and talismans designed to ward off civilizational collapse, blending the sacred with the technological in quietly uncanny ways.
October 25 at 9:30pm (This weekend)
Casa Capitão · Lisboa • 24 €
One of contemporary Brazilian music's most singular voices lands in Lisbon. Juliana Linhares swings from powerful to sweet to theatrical, blending deep tradition with bold experimentation.
October 26 at 9:30pm
Fábrica Braço de Prata · Lisboa
Brazilian music let loose: a weekly jam where independent artists collide in spontaneous improvisation, blending jazz with groove-heavy brasilidade. Special guests every Monday, pay what you can.
October 27 at 5pm +2
Jardim Amália Rodrigues · Lisboa • 25 €
Fado echoes through the secret garden where Amália Rodrigues lived for over 40 years. Intimate acoustic concerts unfold among jacarandas and cobblestones, with an optional guided tour of her Casa-Museu beforehand.
October 27 at 8pm
Centro Cultural de Belém · Lisboa
Poetry from across the Portuguese-speaking world, set to music. Aníbal Raposo and his seven-piece band turn verses from Cape Verde to Timor into song, with stories behind each one.

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.
Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.
You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.
Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
