Lisbon In October: Weather, Events And Tours

October sits right on the sweet spot in Lisbon. Days still average a high of 22.6C, the summer heat has eased, and the EDP Lisbon Marathon and ModaLisboa fashion week fill the first half of the month. It is a month for long day trips as much as city wandering, and the tours below cover both.

Lisbon In October: Questions Answered

What is the weather like in Lisbon in October?

October days in Lisbon average a high of 22.6C, dropping to about 14.9C at night, based on IPMA climate normals from 1991 to 2020. It is warm enough for a three-hour e-bike ride through the hills or a full day in Sintra, while evenings call for a light jacket, which suits an indoor fado show nicely.

Does it rain a lot in Lisbon in October?

Some, but not enough to shape a trip. October averages 102.9 mm of rain spread over 8.3 days with 1 mm or more, so most days stay dry. The odds favor outdoor plans like the Arrabida wineries tour or a Belem walk, and every tour here offers free cancellation if a wet day changes your mind.

What kind of weather should you expect in Lisbon in October?

Two anchored events stand out. The EDP Lisbon Marathon runs on 10 October, and ModaLisboa, the city's fashion week, runs 7 to 11 October. Both draw visitors in the first half of the month, so booking day trips like the 10-hour Sintra tour or the Evora and megaliths trip a little ahead is a sensible move.

What's on in Lisbon in October, from ModaLisboa to the marathon?

October's mild highs suit the long days out: the 10-hour Sintra trip from EUR 80, Evora and the megaliths from EUR 80, and Arrabida wineries with a tile factory stop from EUR 90. In the city, the Hills e-bike tour runs from EUR 22, the Tastes and Traditions walk from EUR 63, and a 50-minute fado show with wine from EUR 15.

What should I pack for Lisbon in October?

Plan for days around 22C and nights near 15C, plus a handful of showers. Layers are the answer: short sleeves for afternoon walks in Belem or Alfama, something warmer for a sunset return, and a compact umbrella for those 8 or so rainy days. Comfortable shoes matter most, since the best of this city is still seen on foot or by bike.
