For a few weeks each year, Lisbon changes face. Streets light up, squares sparkle and the whole city gains a warm, magical glow. At Christmas, Lisbon is not just a capital – it is a giant open-air light show.

On this private Christmas lights tour in an electric tuk tuk, you see the city at its most beautiful and festive without crowds or long walks in the cold. Just sit back, wrap yourself in a blanket and enjoy Lisbon’s illuminated streets with a local storyteller by your side.

The tour starts next to Praça do Comércio, where you can admire Lisbon’s giant Christmas tree and the first decorations of Baixa. From there, you glide through the main avenues, pass under light tunnels, and cross some of the city’s most iconic neighborhoods in full festive mode: Baixa, Chiado, Príncipe Real and Liberdade Avenue.

Along the way, your guide shares stories about the city, highlights the best photo spots and makes short stops so you can capture the Christmas atmosphere. The 100% electric tuk tuk allows you to reach viewpoints and narrow streets with comfort and zero emissions, even on cooler winter nights.

This is the most comfortable and fun way to experience Lisbon at Christmas – perfect for couples, families and groups of friends who want to see the lights and feel the season’s spirit in one easy, cozy ride.
