50 Years of Freedom

Portugal celebrates 50 years of Freedom

In Portugal, freedom is celebrated every year on the 25th April, but also every day that opinions can be expressed, that we can say what's on our mind, be whatever we want to be, and choose our own destiny. But this year is special: it’s the 50th anniversary of the Portuguese conquering their freedom!

25th April 1974. This historic day marked the Carnation Revolution, which brought an end to the 48-year dictatorship in Portugal. To provide more information about the events of that day, world-renowned symbols will be evoked, the places where the most important moments took place will be revealed, and an extensive programme of events will be run throughout the country.
