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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
