Stargazing Picnic
Change the usual picnic game by doing it at night! Enjoy a homemade meal under the beautiful starry sky of Fundão. Take advantage of the clear September weather to sta gaze and appreciate the Universe's wonders. Sit back, relax, and connect with your partner as you both watch the stars.
- As the evening falls on a clear September day, you and your partner head out with a picnic blanket and some homemade snacks. You settle down in a quiet, dim lit space and lay back to watch the sky. The stars start to appear as darkness falls, creating a marvelous spectacle. As you talk and share stories, you watch shooting stars and identify constellations. The tranquility of the night and the beauty of the sky create a perfect moment for bonding and leisurely conversation.
- You've heard about the beauty of the night sky in Fundão, but experiencing it first hand with your partner surpasses all your expectations. The city lights fade in the distance, making the stars shine even brighter. The serene beauty of the night sky is a sight that never fails to awe and inspire.
- As the night progresses, you try spotting different celestial bodies and constellations. You and your partner challenge each other to spot certain stars or constellations first, making for an exciting and engaging experience. The night ends with a sense of satisfaction and joy, promising a memory you'll cherish for a long time.
Preparation steps:
- For this date, you need to plan ahead because it's not your typical picnic. Firstly, make sure to pack warm clothes and a blanket. September nights can get chilly even if the day is warm.
- Pack a picnic basket with your partner's favorite snacks and non-alcoholic beverages. Try to pack finger foods like sandwiches, fruits, and cupcakes to avoid the need for utensils or plates. Don't forget your water bottle to stay hydrated throughout.
- You don't need any special stargazing equipment for this date. However, you can download a free night sky app on your phone if you want to identify different celestial bodies and constellations. This could add an interesting educational aspect to your date.

Some tips:
- Choose a spot that is open and away from city lights for the best stargazing experience. Parks or fields on the outskirts of the city are usually good options. Just make sure it's a safe and permitted area for such activities.
- If you're not familiar with the night sky, consider downloading a free stargazing app. It will guide you to identify stars, constellations, and even planets. This could also turn into a fun activity if you decide to play 'who finds it first.'
- Last but not least, remember to leave no traces behind. Clean up after yourselves to preserve the beauty of the area for other stargazers.
