Will there be a total eclipse in Lisbon?

No. Lisbon is outside the path of totality. At most 92.4% of the Sun will be covered, at 09:44:44 local time (UTC+1).

Where is the nearest place to see totality from Lisbon?

The nearest practical option is Cádiz, about 5 to 6 hours by road via the Algarve and Huelva.

How dark will it get in Lisbon?

With 92.4% of the Sun covered, daylight will dim a little, though many people would not notice it without being told. It will not get dark, the stars will not come out and the corona will stay hidden, because even a thin sliver of Sun is far brighter than the corona.

Does anywhere in Portugal see totality?

No. Even the Algarve only reaches about 99% around Faro, so nowhere in Portugal sees the total eclipse.

What time is it in Spain when totality happens?

Spain is one hour ahead of Portugal, so totality at about 10:45 in Cádiz is about 09:45 in Lisbon. Keep that in mind when you plan the drive.

Lisbon and the path of totality

Lisbon is the large white dot, outside the dark band. To see the Sun completely covered you need to be inside the band.

Where to look

The Sun will be 35° above the horizon towards the east. That is roughly the height of a raised fist held at arm’s length, stacked 4 times above the horizon. Pick a spot with nothing tall on that side: a beach or hillside facing east is ideal, while narrow streets and tall buildings to the east can block the view.

Where to go for totality

The nearest place to see the total eclipse from Lisbon is Cádiz, about 5 to 6 hours by road via the Algarve and Huelva. If you can make the trip, leave the evening before: roads into the path are expected to be very busy on the morning of the eclipse.
