What's open on Sundays in Lisbon?

Sundays in Lisbon are more functional than the shuttered stereotype suggests. The Mercado de Campo de Ourique runs its regular hours and draws a reliable local crowd. The Feira da Ladra flea market in Alfama operates on Tuesdays and Saturdays, not Sundays, so skip that one. Most museums stay open, including the Museu Nacional do Azulejo and the Museu Calouste Gulbenkian, though both typically close on Mondays, making Sunday a good window. Restaurants and cafes in Chiado, Bairro Alto, and Alfama trade normally. The big shopping centers, Colombo and El Corte Inglés, are open standard hours. Grocery chains like Pingo Doce and Continente keep reduced but usable Sunday hours, usually 9am to 9pm. What genuinely closes: smaller independent shops, many bakeries in residential neighborhoods, and some government offices. The city quiets down noticeably in the morning but fully animates by midday, particularly along the waterfront at Ribeira das Naus.
