Longest and shortest day in Lisbon

The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 14h 52m of daylight.

The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 4 months, with 9h 27m.

Between them the day length swings by 5h 25m.

Daylight through 2026

Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night Clock change

The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:14 on 7 December; the latest is 21:05 on 28 June. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.

Sunrise ranges from 06:11 on 14 June to 06:55 on 25 October.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 11m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Lisbon different

Clock noon and solar noon are 39 minutes apart here — the sun is highest at 12:38 standard time. That gap comes from the time zone's width, not the latitude. Daylight saving adds another hour on top, so today the sun peaks at 13:38.

Light lingers for 28 minutes after sunset before civil twilight ends — 4 minutes longer than the 24-minute median across tracked cities, which is what 38.7°N buys you.

Evening golden hour runs 53 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 41 — at 38.7° the sun approaches the horizon at a shallower angle and takes its time.

The gap between the longest and shortest day of the year comes to 5h 25m, one of the narrowest swings of any Portugal city on the site.

Between solstices the sunset walks 61° across the horizon — WSW in midwinter, WNW in midsummer — which is why a fixed viewpoint works only part of the year. Today's bearing is WNW.

By the end of August the sun will be setting 39 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 78 seconds a day.

Expect a one-off hour-long step in these times on 25 October 2026: sunset goes from 18:46 the evening before to 17:44 that evening.

Planning a sunset photo in Lisbon

Arrive by 19:26. Golden hour opens at 19:41 and the sun is down by 20:17, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 284° on the compass today. That bearing moves through the year, so a composition that works this week may not in three months.

Do not pack up at sunset. Blue hour follows from 20:34 and runs to 20:45, the end of civil twilight and 27m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.

Golden hour in Lisbon — times, duration and the best months Morning and evening windows, the next seven days, and how much golden light each month gives you.
