Winter light invades the streets of Lisbon

Visit Lisbon in this colder season and warm your senses with the city’s charms

The city that enchants in the four seasons of the year, from the center to the outskirts, the historical value of the city dazzles those who visit and invites those who do not know it. Lisbon’s contemporary evolution follows the new cultural trends and its history stands out amongst museums and monuments with their own identity.

Inside the Castle’s walls

The thematic visits to St. George’s Castle are a must for those visiting the city. Learn all the mythical stories of the Castle and the archaeological core and experience the city with a visit to the ‘darkroom’ through a periscope, with a 360º look in real-time.

Fado that enchants Alfama and Mouraria

Walk through Alfama‘s streets and alleys, and visit the Fado Museum to learn all about its history and the singers who have marked the city. Finish this theme in Mouraria, one of the city’s most quaint neighborhoods, the right place to have dinner while watching a concert of the so traditional Fado.

Culture in Praça de Espanha

The Gulbenkian gardens provide the city with a green space for the whole family, where they can take a stroll and get to know the museum’s art collections. The play Aquarius by Marlene Barreto is on stage at Teatro da Comuna until January 23 and tells the story of the Yellowstone volcano, a true drama not to be missed.

Discover Santa Clara

Visits to Quinta Alegrete and Palácio Marquês do Alegrete, until January 25th. In Santa Clara parish it is possible to discover the 18th century country estate, which illustrates the refinement of the Portuguese baroque in Lisbon.

Belém, a piece of the Portuguese Discoveries

A piece of history located merely ten minutes away from Lisbon center, which inspires those who visit through the imposing Jerónimos Monastery, a landmark of Manueline Art built to celebrate the discoveries.

In a contemporary view, the visit to the Portuguese Expansion goes through the museum space of the Padrão dos Descobrimentos. Finish your visit by tasting a decadent Pastel de Belém and return to the center of Lisbon by boat on a tour by the Tagus River.
