One of your first stops this winter should be to the Mercado da Ribeira, where you can try fresh seasonal fruit downstairs and wander upstairs for some of Lisbon’s best treats. You may wind up spending a full day up there, sipping on Portuguese wine with a romantic drizzle tapping the cobblestone streets just on the other side of the window.
Then you can explore the local life by taking a rest on one of the benches in Rossio Square, which has been full of action since Medieval times.
And, if you’re in Lisbon for the New Year’s Eve, then you’re in for phenomenal fireworks along the river at Belém.

When you upload your photos to your Instagram account no one will have to know that you didn’t arrange the fireworks yourself!
Then move to Praça do Comércio where you can party in the large square with the locals and tourists alike to live music and lively celebrations.
The good news is, in winter walking up those steep hills is much more pleasant than under a burning summer sun. Dress in warm fashion and explore the streets until you find the perfect place to try a Portuguese specialty, Ginjinha, a sour cherry liquor.
