Winter is here and Lisbon prepares for Spring with Carnival coming up and Fado and other festivals. People head to the shops and cafes at the evenings and weekends. In this city the late evening atmosphere is especially lovely as the sun descends. check out Lisbon Weather and Lisbon Events to help you plan ahead.

In January the Chiado usually has events with Choral concerts, Fado and Street Theatre. The atmosphere in this area is great at this time of year.

January is a quiet month, but usually the weather is OK and it is easier to get around and take in the sights of the city.
