Lisbon is a treat for your eyes with so much to see<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When considering what to see in Lisbon, you’ll be spoilt for choice, as there are several Lisbon attractions not to be missed. Starting with great views, there are multiple lookout points or ‘miradouros’ dotted throughout Lisbon\u2019s famous hills, where you\u2019ll get epic panoramic views of the city. Once you have seen the city from above, head to ground level and visit places that showcase jaw-dropping historic architecture like Arco da Rua Augusta. And don’t forget to look down! Lisbon is famous for its colourful azulejos (ceramic tiles) and you can learn more about how they\u2019re made and go on a tour of some of their most famous pieces around the city when you book a tour at Cal\u00e7ada Portuguesa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Escape Europe’s darkest months when you visit Lisbon in Winter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You might be asking yourself, is it worth visiting Lisbon in winter and what is there to do in Lisbon in the winter? It’s well known for its relatively sunny winters and is therefore a popular choice for hiding from the rest of Europe’s gloom during December. Lisbon in winter is not as busy as during summer months, so you can enjoy a calmer atmosphere but still have plenty to do, like traditional Christmas concerts and the annual Comic-Con Portugal festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lisbon in January is still winter in Lisbon and is in fact one of the coldest months of the year in the city. Still, you probably won’t need much more than a light jumper to keep you warm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is plenty to do during a winter vacation in Lisbon that will have you busy with delight throughout December and January, and the best ways to get around the hills of Lisbon throughout the year are by taxi rides and private rides from SIXT ride<\/a>, which you can even schedule in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
