Festivities are apparently in Hamburg this year, found an article that says they're "expecting hundreds of thousands".

Lisbon also offers the Lisboa Card, which - unlike many other such cards - is an incredible deal (or at least was in 2019). Free use of public transport, free train trips to Cascais and Sintra, many free or reduced entries.

Fruits of the sea posted:Seconding Sintra, I wish I had more than one day there. The Moorish castle is very cool, a short but steep walk up and its crazy how its just barely balancing on the very top of the mountain. Quinta da Regaleira is a super bizarre garden with caves, secret tunnels and a bunch of references to masons/knights templar, built by an eccentric rich dude around 1900. My tip for Sintra: get there (ideally by train, a free ride is included in the Lisboa Card for example) an hour before everything opens, then walk up to the Moorish castle on foot, arriving just when it opens. Then do the visits in the opposite direction of all the tourist buses and most everything will be far less overrun. I used the Villa Sassetti trail, which is apparently closed now, but here are instructions: https://www.sintra-portugal.com/guides/walk-to-palacio-pena-castelo-mouros-sintra.html
