4 things to do in Lisbon in October
1. Live a terrifying Halloween in Lisbon
Lisbon is a city with a great nightlife and, on Halloween, it is common to find everyone well dressed, going from bar to bar. In addition to these, there are other activities and events that take place around the city, from “trick or treat” tours (recommended if you are going to Lisbon with children) to tours of the legends and scary stories of Lisbon.
2. Enjoy independent and documentary cinema at the Lisbon International Film Festival
In addition to the many (and very interesting) films that you can see at DocLisboa, this festival is characterized by having also become a space for debate, reflection and activism. Without a doubt, it is the clear example of the idea that art can change the world. In total, the festival lasts 11 days, so there is time for films from different authors and countries to compete in the different categories.
3. Run the Lisbon Marathon in October

Not only will you have the opportunity to beat your personal best, but you will do it while you get to know one of the most beautiful areas of the city: its coast. Yes, the 42 kilometres pass through a beautiful landscape, starting in Cascais and ending in the centre of the capital.
4. Eat the first roasted chestnuts of the season in Lisbon
The roasted chestnut season starts in Lisbon in October, so it will be hard to resist buying them from the wooden stalls that fill the city. Although November in Lisbon is when chestnuts are consumed the most, October is the month in which they start to be harvested, so get ready to taste tender chestnuts full of flavour.
