Dated local notice, checked 21 October 2026. The U.S. Embassy’s 20 October alert listed a Rossio demonstration for that evening and possible further gatherings over the following weeks. That start time is past; this note does not confirm an ongoing gathering or closure. Check the latest Embassy notices and local transport updates before crossing the square. Keep your route flexible and follow local authorities’ instructions. Read the dated notice and source →
