New Year's Eve in Lisbon
Between breathtaking fireworks over the Tagus River, outdoor musical events and a vibrant nightlife in the historic districts
Fireworks are one of the most anticipated moments of New Year's Eve in Lisbon and help to make the atmosphere magical and festive. The city offers multiple viewpoints, thanks to its geographical conformation on seven hills, which offer breathtaking views of the fireworks exploding over the Tagus River. The main celebrations are centered around the historic Praça do Comércio, Lisbon's largest square, which fills with thousands of people waiting for the fireworks display and live music concerts.

Another must-see point in the city is the majestic Torre de Belém, dating back to the sixteenth century, which with its historic charm offers a unique setting to celebrate the arrival of the New Year with views of the Atlantic.
If you prefer to immerse yourself in Lisbon's vibrant nightlife, Bairro Alto is the ideal neighborhood. With its narrow streets full of bars, clubs and trendy clubs, it is one of the most popular places for young people and tourists who want to have fun until the early hours of the morning. The music varies from pop to electronic music, catering to all tastes.
A fun-filled alternative with the chance to make new friends is to join a Pub Crawl.
To discover Lisbon's nightlife and have authentic experiences, the best solution is to do it in the company of local guides, meeting other travelers from all over the world and participating in the Pub Crawl with pub crawl of Lisbon visiting 3 bars and 1 club all night long.
For a more exclusive experience, you can opt for a private tour on the Tagus River, admiring the fireworks directly from the water, while culture enthusiasts can watch a live fado show, traditional Portuguese music that conveys deep emotions through melancholic melodies.
Whatever your choice to celebrate New Year's Eve, in Lisbon, at midnight, it is customary to eat 12 raisins, one for each stroke of the clock, accompanied by toasts with sparkling wine to wish good luck for the next 12 months of the new year.
