◦ About us

A little community
with a big coração.

Lisbonete started as a small group of people watching the sun drop behind the Tagus — and realising how easy it is to make friends when the sky is on fire.

We organise gatherings across the city for locals, newcomers, nomads, lifers and everyone in between. Our events are low-pressure, phone-down, say-hi-to-a-stranger kind of things. No tickets, no awkward networking, no agenda beyond being here, together.

  • Come alone

    Most of us did. It works out.

  • Any level of Portuguese

    Even zero. Really.

  • Always donation-based

    Pay what feels fair.

  • Queer & kind-friendly

    All welcome, always.

◦ What happens

Six flavours of showing up.

Every event is small, intentional, and built around making it easy to talk to someone new.

  • weekly

    Sunset hangs

    We meet at a miradouro, watch the city turn gold, and let conversations unfold at their own pace.

  • bi-weekly

    Games nights

    Catan, Codenames, silly card games, made-up rules. The only way to lose is to not show up.

  • weekends

    Slow walks

    No pace to keep, no selfies required. Just wandering Alfama's alleys with someone new.

  • weekly

    Park hangouts

    Grass, shade, a picnic blanket and good company. Jardim da Estrela, Monsanto, Eduardo VII — slow afternoons with no agenda.

  • monthly

    Discussions

    Book swaps, question jars, themed nights. Deep talks for people tired of weather chat.

  • always

    Your own rhythm

    Some come to chat. Some come to read in good company. Both are welcome. Both are Lisbon.
