June marks the start of the festival season in Lisbon with celebrations set to extend throughout summer and InterContinental Lisbon is the ideal five-star property to immerse in the colour, revelry, and merriment captivating the historical capital – it is truly the month the streets of Lisbon come to life!

With a month of thrilling entertainment activities, the programme includes a parade of popular marches on 12thJune along the Avenida da Liberdade on, Lisbon’s most stylish street above which InterContinental Lisbon is located. On 13th June, a procession will take place paying homage to Santo António, winding through the cobbled streets of the historic city around the Sé Cathedral celebrating the rich heritage of the religious festivities. The exhilarating programme also includes a wide array of events including theatre performances, sports events, art exhibitions, and other live music including jazz and fado, traditional Portuguese music.

Santo António, the saint of marriage and couples in love and often considered the true patron of the city, is at the heart of the celebrations that wonderfully combine religion, culture, and partying. Lisbon’s oldest neighbourhoods are the point at which the festivities are most animated, from Castelo to Mouraria, Graça, Alfama, Ajuda, and the Bairro Alto. All located within 20 minutes of the luxurious hotel, music fills the streets of these neighbourhoods as people dance to the rhythm of traditional songs beneath the colourful decorative globes and garlands that line the streets and are surrounded by the delicious smell of roasted sardines and Greek Basil. Santo António is worshipped throughout the city through paper carnations and paintings. The colourful and vibrant celebrations take over the whole of Lisbon filling the city with a festive atmosphere – a party to remember!

Celebrating the rich culture and heritage of Lisbon can be continued at the hotel. The Uptown Bar is a striking modern space with mirrored walls and mood lighting, the ideal spot to enjoy a nightcap after a day of partying with innovative cocktails, deliciously refreshing soft drinks, and a delightful selection of Portuguese wines. To top up on energy before continuing the festivities, guests can experience the seasonal and artisanal dishes Chef Eddy Melo has curated in the Akla Restaurant, combining his international culinary techniques.

With newly renovated bedrooms and suites spread across 19 floors, InterContinental Lisbon boasts exceptional views across the capital and the Tagus River and is located next to the peaceful Parque Eduardo VII.
