Lisbon in March
March in Lisbon offers a delightful escape from winter’s chill with blooming jacaranda trees and fewer crowds than peak season. The city truly shines with its vibrant Fado music echoing through ancient alleyways, the stunning Manueline architecture of Jerónimos Monastery and Belém Tower, and the delicious aroma of pastéis de nata wafting from bakeries.
