Avenida Open Week returns from 4th to 10th May
The Avenida Association presents the 2024 edition of Avenida Open Week, an invitation to discover Lisbon’s most iconic avenue between 4 and 10 May.
For a week, various spaces in @avenida.liberdade will unveil some of their best-kept secrets, share knowledge, provide experiences and share many stories that are part of the daily life of Lisbon’s Luxury District. The event includes hotels, shops, restaurants, personalized services, a museum with a unique art collection and tailoring and haute couture ateliers.
With the aim of getting closer to the public, the Avenida Association encourages its members to share what best distinguishes them, resulting in an excellent programme with free access to a set of diverse activities such as cooking, cocktails, jewellery design and creative writing workshops, personalized training sessions, a live jazz concert, or exhibitions with guided tours. The event offers a privileged and exclusive experience for those who want to take part in its activities and promises to awaken the 5 senses of those who participate.
