From early spring, the cafes and bars spill out onto the streets as the weather improves for al fresco dining and drinks, and throughout the rest of the season through to the end of the year many festivals and festivities take place in Lisbon. The beginning of the Bullfighting season starts in April with traditional entertainment starting at Lisbon’s Campo Pequeno bullring.
