Accurate prayer times for every city in Portugal.

Prayer times here come from the open-source Aladhan API, calculated with the Muslim World League method (Method 3 in the Aladhan engine). MWL puts Fajr at the moment the sun reaches 18° below the horizon during morning twilight and Isha at 17° below the horizon at dusk. The Comunidade Islâmica de Lisboa (CIL) uses MWL, and most Portuguese mosques do too. The site pulls fresh values from Aladhan every day and caches them for 24 hours per city. The angles are mathematically conservative — they won't produce a time so tight that you miss the prayer window. For congregational prayer, follow your local mosque's iqamah schedule, which delays prayer past the calculated adhan to give worshippers time to gather. Accuracy is sub-minute for the city centre and within seconds for the immediate metropolitan area.

Mosques publish iqamah times — the moment the congregation actually gathers and the imam starts prayer. They're deliberately delayed past the calculated adhan to give worshippers time to arrive and complete ablution (wudu). The times here are calculated adhan times: the precise astronomical moment when each prayer's window opens. A typical Portuguese mosque delays Fajr iqamah by 25 to 30 minutes after the calculated adhan, Dhuhr/Asr/Isha by 10 to 20 minutes, and Maghrib by only 5 to 10 minutes (because the Maghrib window is narrow). Two mosques in the same city can differ by ten or fifteen minutes for the same prayer based on local convention. Some mosques also use a non-MWL method, like Egyptian or Karachi. For congregational prayer, follow your mosque's iqamah; for private prayer at home or while travelling, the calculated times here are reliable.

The site covers sixty Portuguese cities — every district capital from the Minho to the Algarve, the autonomous regions of Madeira and the Azores, and the major Muslim community hubs around Greater Lisboa and Porto. That includes Lisboa, Porto, Vila Nova de Gaia, Amadora, Braga, Almada, Coimbra, Setúbal, Sintra, Cascais, Loures, Évora, Faro, Aveiro, Viseu, Leiria, Guimarães, Funchal, Ponta Delgada, and many more. Each city has its own page with today's Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha times, a 7-day calendar, an iCal export for your calendar app, latitude-aware Ramadan and daylight notes, and notable mosques where applicable. The 60-city set is fixed for now, but if you want a city added, send the request through the contact page. To find your city, use the search at the top of the homepage or browse the cities index — cities are grouped by region (Norte, Centro, Lisbon Metropolitan Area, Alentejo, Algarve, Madeira, and Azores).
