April arrives with carnations and glasses raised. The days are getting longer, and with them, the collective urge to head out onto the streets. With DJ sets, concerts, quizzes, pop-ups, and parties, there are more than enough reasons to celebrate freedom in style. Free admission and craft beer, always.
Whether you're looking for things to do in Lisbon, places to go out in Porto, or just a good excuse to raise a glass, here's your plan of action for April. Come on over—and bring a friend along, too.
