The spookiest places in Lisbon – murderers, playful ghosts and tragic legacies
In Portugal we don’t exactly have the tradition of celebrating Halloween. In fact, we celebrate the 1st of November, All Saints Day.
Besides being a national holiday, it used to be the day we paid our respects to the ones that had already left, and the day that children went around their neighbourhood houses asking for “Pão-por-Deus” (something like “Bread for God’s sake”) and, in return, got bread, cookies and nuts. It was also on this day that bread used to be divided amongst the poorest.
Nonetheless, some old traditions started disappearing, especially in big cities, and over the past few years Halloween started to increase its Portuguese fan base.
It is common nowadays to see some people celebrating it, by dressing up in scary costumes and going out to party, and to get you in the mood we decided to introduce you some of the spookiest places in Lisbon.
