Celebrate Carnival in Lisbon

Posted by carnivalchick 16 December 2008

If you've always wanted to experience Carnival but can't make it to Rio di Janeiro in February, Lisbon hosts a great European alternative every year, with floats, traditional parades, costumes and parties all night. Rent near the Parque das Nações for the buzzing Carnival at your doorstep.

Lisbon is one of the cheapest capital cities in Europe and one of the prettiest. Carnival is a glamorous time to visit the city.

Superb little late summer garage rock festival a short boat journey from Lisbon. Excellent selection of bands and hosted within a vibrant music scene.
