Lisbon in June
When to go
June is Lisbon's festival month: Visit Lisboa lists the Lisbon Festivities as still to be confirmed and describes St. Anthony's night as a parade and neighborhood street parties that only wind down early the next morning. A national holiday also falls in June, so check the dates against your trip. The national weather institute's climate normals for Lisbon, listed in the facts, give the usual highs, lows and rainfall, and a forecast closer to departure will tell you more.

Before you fly, check the EU's official travel site: it says the Entry/Exit System is fully operational and that ETIAS is not yet in operation. For the rules that apply to your passport, see the State Department's page for Portugal, and check the airlines directly for current flight and route information.

Where to stay
Visit Lisboa names Alfama, Bica, Bairro Alto, Castelo & Mouraria as the districts that keep the June party tradition, with music in the streets, so compare how close a stay is to them against how much quiet you want. Also compare walking distance to a Metro station, since the Metro's published hours run past midnight, and check how the city's municipal tourist tax on overnight stays applies to your group and number of nights.

Getting around
Metro de Lisboa says the Metro runs every day, including weekends and public holidays, and closes after midnight. On the nights of the street parties, which Visit Lisboa says wind down only early the next morning, compare your route back to your lodging with the Metro's published closing time.
