January in Lisbon

New beginnings, new year, new hopes and new travels and here is an idea: let’s spend January in Lisbon!

Lisbon is such a warm and welcoming place, it’s like you’re home everytime you are there. Apart from that, it is a vivid and beautiful town, where things happen all the time. After spending a wonderful New Year’s Eve in Lisbon, with a lot of color, lights and fireworks, I bet you would be more than eager to go farther and spend the first month of the new year in Lisbon. Today we are going to look into some of the best and most inspired ideas to spend the most memorable days in the capital city of Portugal.

Here are some of them:

Music is a vital aspect of life in Portugal. But there is more than Fado to enjoy here, so if you are in for classical music to welcome the new year, you are invited (between December 29th and January 5th at the Coliseu dos Recreios for some of the most dramatic Grand New Year’s Concerts.

January 6th is Epiphania or Dia dos Reis, a beautiful time for kids, as they receive presents. It is also a musical day, because carols are sung this day and their music is supposed to last for the entire year and already anticipate the new winter season next year.

If you want more music, on January 4th you are invited to Noite Paraiso at Lux Fragil. Yen Sung, Luis Leite and Jose Acid will be there to offer the best disco show in Lisbon.

MERIT Summit (January 17-18) is another event you must not miss. This unique HR meeting discusses the transformational learning in the corporate world and how this can influence education. The media agency Advent Group has organized this event, which is currently at its second edition. Business success is an important coordinate these years, so it is important to bear in mind the fact that this can start in Lisbon one winter day.

With Lisbon taxi transfers you can enjoy quality transport locally too.
