Top 5 things to do in Lisbon in December

  • Visit one of Lisbon’s oldest churches

    Catedral da Sé is located on a hill facing Castelo de São Jorge (Saint Jorge Castle) and where the famous Tram 28 passes. Ask your local guide to take you to this majestic church located in the heart of Lisbon. Constructed in 1147 atop an old mosque built by the Moors, it’s also the locale where Santo Antônio (Saint Anthony) was baptized. During this month you’ll also be able to see the traditional Christmas preparations.

    In the 17th and 18th century the church underwent renovations giving it its current baroque and gothic design. Your local host will be glad to bring you here and provide you with more historical facts about Catedral da Sé. Definitely one of the best things to do in Lisbon in December!

  • Experiment Portuguese Craft-Beer

    Since weather is not that bad here in winter times, you can still enjoy a fun time strolling through bars. If you’re head over heals about experimenting authentic Portuguese beer then look no further. Your host can serve locally made, aromatic craft beers and prepare homemade petiscos (delicacies) for your enjoyment! This one of the most fun things to do in Lisbon in December.

    So don’t let a colder night keep you from enjoying fine craft beer, petiscos, and good company. Your local host will be more than happy to share this experience with you on a beer tour in Lisbon

  • Have a genuine 5-course Portuguese dinner

    There’s no better thing to do in Lisbon in Dember than to partake in a home-cooked Portuguese dinner. Your local host will prepare everything from olives and bread to Portuguese cheese, seafood rice to creamy codfish, roasted chicken to duck rice, Portuguese sausage to Drunken pear, and then some.

    They can also modify dinner for vegetarians or preferences. No matter what’s being whipped up in the kitchen, fresh, seasonal ingredients are always used. This is a wonderful way to beat the cold and give your weary feet a much-needed rest. So get ready to be spoiled with a traditional 5-course Portuguese dinner! If you prefer seeing more of the city while you eat, a food tour in Lisbon is right up your alley.

  • Satisfy your art crave

    Lisbon breaths art throughout the year. Naturally one of the best things to do in Lisbon in December is seeing its art. If you’re interested to learn about Portuguese artists and view their work front and center then ask your local guide to give you a personalized tour of art galleries around town. They will be glad to listen to your artistic predilections and devise a specialized tour that will leave you truly gratified.

    If you’re in love with renowned Portuguese painters such as Paula Rego and Helena Vieira da Silva or take interest in up and coming artists such as Graça Morais, Pedro Boese, and Joana Vasconcelos, your host will take you to the precise galleries or museums to view their work.

  • Decoding the Illuminati

    Few people know that Lisbon is an Illuminati city. There are secret symbols, monuments, rituals, and societies that only a local guide can reveal to you. If you’re up for a true investigative quest and want to do something different this December then just ask your local guide to unveil Illuminati secrets scattered all across Lisbon.

    You’ll have a chance to visit the masonic museum (reserved only for members of the masonic order), Illuminati architecture in the center of Lisbon, and several other places filled with detailed commentary. So let your detective spirit run loose when you’re in Lisbon this December. Learn more about the Illuminati from a guide who’s passionate about what he does.

A hidden gem in Lisbon

Before I visited Lisbon a friend told me to be sure to make time for the Gulbenkian and I am glad that I listened. It is an exceptional collection and visiting it with Antonio made it even better! He was so knowledgeable and his explanation of the history of the collection and the museum made the experience so much richer. I highly recommend Antonio!
