Oh my god! You're so lucky! :-)

At the 13 it's Lisbon Day, and everybody is partying out on the street! Just go by night to Alfama neighbourhood and enjoy! Warning it will have enourmous quantitys of people.

On that thay, most people on the acient areas just put out on the streets food tables where you can have dinner (you have to pay, off course), like grilled sardines, "sangria" (wine, with orange juice and some spices), music, dance,...

Regarding shops, those on the streets will be closed but all the shopping malls will be open and available.

Regarding the museem's I think most of them will also be open.

Hope I've helped. If you need anything else just ask!

Have fun!

Hi...

These days are the most crazy days in Lisbon. It's the day of our patron saint "Santo António", and all the people go to the streets partiyng, dancing and eating sardines. Any quarter: Castle, Alfama, Madragoa, etc... have a feast, and you go walking, dancing, eating and drinking (ginginha).

It's very very nice!!! ;-)
