Lisbon is a city full of charm, alongside its neighboring Tagus River, from which the naus and caravels set sail in the 15th and 16th centuries to "open new worlds to the world." The magnificent lights, shadows, and colors seen in every picturesque corner, along with the landscapes offered by its many viewpoints, leave any visitor dazzled. The city's more modern works also contribute to making Lisbon a cosmopolitan and contemporary city.  

In winter, especially at the beginning of the year, Lisbon slows down and that is precisely when it becomes most rewarding. Far from the summer crowds, the city reveals a different scale: more human, more intimate, more authentic.

Portuguese confectionery, like all national gastronomy, is quite rich, and the Christmas season is no exception. Many sweets are eaten at Christmas time, some more traditional than others, and the most popular is undoubtedly Bolo Rei (King Cake).  

Winter may well be Lisbon’s most elegant season. The city becomes quieter, more intimate a place to walk without haste, to observe and to feel.  

The most anticipated festive season of the year is approaching! Olissippo Hotels have prepared several options and menus so you can celebrate Christmas and New Year's Eve in the best possible way.
