3. Christmas lights: where Lisbon shines the most
If there is one reason that brings visitors to the city during this time of year, it’s the lights. Every year brings something new, and there are areas that always shine brightest:
- Avenida da Liberdade
Elegant light decorations that follow the entire avenue, creating a magical corridor framed by trees and buildings. - Baixa Pombalina
Streets such as Rua Augusta, Rua da Prata or Rua do Ouro transform into true tunnels of light and colour. - Praça do Comércio
Where everything begins. The giant Christmas tree, the colourful projections on the buildings and the riverfront view make this one of the most photogenic spots in the city. - Chiado
One of Lisbon’s most charming areas becomes even brighter with lanterns, stars and lights reflecting on shop windows and historic façades.
