No fare history for this route yet, so this ranking is climate and crowds only — the price column will fill in as the scanner collects.

A busy month is a crowded one, not a bad one — usually it is crowded because the weather is good. It is flagged rather than scored down, and crowds alone never make a month “avoid”: that is reserved for weather worth skipping.

The year in Lisbon
Lisbon has a Mediterranean climate with mild winters and hot summers. The peak tourist season occurs in summer when the weather is warm and sunny, while spring and fall offer more moderate conditions and less crowding.
| Busiest |
early Jun to late Aug — Ideal summer weather, high demand among tourists.
|
|---|---|
| Quieter, still good |
early Apr to late May — Pleasant spring weather and fewer crowds.
early Sep to late Oct — Milder temperatures and reduced tourist traffic.

This section was written by a language model from the climate figures above, and nobody has checked it. The month-by-month table is measured — ten years of ERA5 readings and published holiday calendars — and where the two disagree, the table is the one to believe. The busiest and quieter periods here also count toward the crowd score, which is 20% of the ranking.
