The Centro Cultural de Belém (CCB) in Lisbon is opening its new season with a free-entry festival from 11 to 13 September. The event features dance, music, and theatre performances, all with free admission. The program is available on the CCB's official channels.

Why it matters for international residents

This is a great opportunity for international residents to enjoy high-quality cultural performances without paying ticket fees. It’s an accessible way to experience local arts and explore the Belém area, which is home to other landmarks like the Jerónimos Monastery and the Belém Tower.
