Lisbon’s theatre calendar spans contemporary writing, classics and experimental performance. Browse productions, find the venue and check the individual show details. Language, running time and age guidance matter, particularly for visitors choosing a performance while travelling.

What to check before booking

A play can have several performances with different times. Confirm the specific session and venue. If you do not speak Portuguese, check the performance language and whether surtitles are explicitly offered.

Discover the area around the theatre

A show can also be a reason to explore a different neighbourhood. Use nearby-place and transport links to plan the rest of your evening and your journey home.

Frequently asked questions

Are there English-language plays?
