Lisbon in September is that time of year when school\u2019s in but summer is not quite out yet.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Summer in Lisbon lingers well into September, with days that are still long enough for al fresco drinks and weekend trips to the beach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It won\u2019t start feeling like fall for another month or so, and throughout September, tourist crowds grow smaller, and lisboetas<\/em> return to their daily routines. If there\u2019s ever a sweet spot between tourist season and authentic city life, you\u2019ll find it in Lisbon in September. Here\u2019s what\u2019s on our agenda this month.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"Coming<\/figure>\n\n\n

1. Get Spooked at MotelX<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During the second week of September, all horror movie fans will want to head to Cinema S\u00e3o Jorge<\/a> for MotelX<\/a>. This is the film festival they\u2019ve been waiting for all year. For one week, the silver screen showcases the rising stars of horror filmmaking through new features, short films and documentaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every year there are also special retrospective sessions featuring classics of the genre and the masterminds behind them. In 2019, look out for \u201cAlien\u201d and \u201cFriday the 13th<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2019 dates<\/strong>: September 10\u201315<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Experience Fado at Santa Casa Alfama <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fado<\/a> is Lisbon\u2019s most popular music genre, so it\u2019s only natural that there is a festival entirely dedicated to it in the city\u2019s most iconic neighborhood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2013, Santa Casa Alfama<\/a>\u2019s goal has been to bring fado to all kinds of audiences at all kinds of venues. For two nights at the end of September, the festival hosts new and seasoned fado singers at performance venues throughout Alfama ranging from museums to churches to outdoor spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the concerts, stick around and enjoy dinner at one of the many fabulous restaurants in Alfama<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2019 dates<\/strong>: September 27\u201328 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Dance in the Park at a Music Festival<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Music lovers, this one\u2019s for you. The Lisb-On<\/a> festival is a huge late summer block party, with a fantastic view of the city. It takes over Lisbon\u2019s most iconic park, Parque Eduardo VII<\/a>, for three days of electronic music concerts lasting from 2 p.m. to midnight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you go to soak in the atmosphere or to dance your socks off, there\u2019s plenty of room for everyone. Bring your own blanket for the afternoon sessions, and if you\u2019re traveling with kids, bring them along! Admission is free for children ages 3\u201314.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2019 dates<\/strong>: September 6\u20138 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Immerse Yourself in Portuguese Heritage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every year, the European Heritage Days<\/a> present a unique opportunity to learn more about Portuguese heritage far beyond a trip to the top museums. Free entrance at monuments, special tours of never-before-seen collections and night events at museums are some of the activities you can expect during these three days in Lisbon in September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2019 dates<\/strong>: September 27\u201329 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Grab a Bite: What to Eat in Lisbon in September<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All these energy-packed events in September mean you\u2019ll need to recharge on the go. Although we\u2019re fond of sitting down for meals on most occasions in Portugal, that doesn\u2019t stop us from switching the long sit-down lunch for a quick bite at a food truck during a festival. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A bifana<\/em><\/a> is a good compromise between hearty meal and afternoon snack. Don\u2019t be fooled though\u2014more masterful technique goes into this unfussy pork sandwich than meets the eye. And whatever you do, don\u2019t go overboard with the sauces\u2014a dab of mustard is more than enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For longer meals and lingering conversations, a restaurant with outdoor seating is perfect for those late summer afternoons. Bonus points if you choose a Lisbon restaurant with a view.<\/a> In September, the days still call for chilled wine and grilled fish with a drizzle of olive oil\u2014enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
