Let the gardens back into the plan.
March is a good month to leave room for a garden pause without building the entire day around the sky staying clear. Choose one exhibition or workshop, a café and an outdoor stretch that can be shortened.
For Lisbon in March, use the monthly climate as planning context, then check the daily forecast closer to your trip. Choose a date in the calendar for programmes with published dates, and keep longer exhibitions and festival periods separate. Pick one indoor option and one neighbourhood stop so the day can stay flexible.

Jardim da Estrela
If you want a small souvenir with a maker behind it, this garden market is a good place to look: ceramics, jewellery, illustration and contemporary crafts rather than mass-produced trinkets. Pair a browse with a slow Jardim da Estrela walk. Use the published edition dates, not a guessed first-weekend rule; the tourism board lists free entry.

Coliseu de Lisboa
A Dança dos Signos, one of Oswaldo Montenegro’s most celebrated shows, arrives in Portugal for a special performance at the Coliseu Lisboa, marking the singer’s seventieth birthday.

18 Dec 2026
Academia das Ciências de Lisboa

Museu Banksy Lisbon, Rua Viriato 25B, Lisboa

11 Mar 2027 – 21 Mar 2027 · edition period, not individual daily sessions
Animation for curious filmgoers. MONSTRINHA is a separate young-audience strand; check the specific age, language and session.
Official edition & booking ↗Programme snapshot updated 2026-10-24 18:11 UTC. This is not a manual check of every session or live ticket availability.
Bring layers and look at the actual forecast for your dates. The spring label is not a guarantee of warm evenings or dry cobbles.
The figures above are the 1991–2020 monthly climate normals for Lisbon's Instituto Geofísico station. An average daily high or low is not an extreme, and an average rain-day count does not tell you which days will be wet. Check the daily forecast and current warnings before an outdoor commitment.
Combine Jardim da Estrela with a coffee, or choose a tile workshop when you want something hands-on. Announced film programmes belong in the calendar below, not an assumed annual schedule.
Choose a meal near the part of the city you want to explore. Our neighbourhood and food guides keep the existing place notes, branch details and saved-list links together. For a bigger route, Plan my days can combine places with announced dated sessions; the final booking stays with the venue.
Numbers on the dates count programmes with published single dates or explicit session dates, not a ticket for each listed idea. An exhibition period or booking window never turns into a session on every date between its endpoints. Select a day to see its dated programmes and the separate longer periods.
The event and festival lists come from our existing saved programme sources. They are partial coverage, not everything happening in Lisbon. Check the organiser's session, language, age, access and ticket terms before you arrange the rest of the day. A dated programme is not evidence of a seat being available.
Sunrise and sunset here are calculated for the public city-centre reference point and the displayed date, in Lisbon time. They are rounded estimates, not a forecast of visible sunshine; hills, buildings and clouds change what you actually see.
Use the date with a reservation time and check the return journey for a late evening. A sunset estimate, an ordinary Metro operating window and a specific transport connection are different pieces of information.
If the weather or a booking changes, shorten the outdoor stretch rather than replacing it with three distant stops. A café, an indoor visit or a workshop from our guide can give the day a new shape without starting again from scratch.
Save the places you want to keep to My Lisbon on this device. For a ticketed activity, keep the confirmation and exact meeting point available before you leave. The monthly programme can change, so revisit the organiser's information close to the date.
No. It uses IPMA's 1991–2020 monthly climate normals. The average low, high and number of days with at least 1 mm of rain are seasonal context, not a prediction for individual travel dates.
Do not assume so. Calendar counts use explicit published dates. Longer programme periods are shown separately; use the organiser's own session or opening information before booking.
The calendar shows the next occurrence of March within the current twelve-month planning window. The displayed year applies to the announced events; the climate figures are historical monthly averages.
