The June festivals in Lisbon and across Portugal are all about the sardine. An absolute must, this little fish is king. It’s enjoyed grilled on bread, in the streets to the sound of festive music.

The June festivities in Lisbon are dedicated to the popular saints: Saint Anthony, Saint John and Saint Peter. It’s a time for entertainment, culture and outings with family and friends. The streets and squares are decked out in song and dance for 1 month.
