Commit to a healthy lifestyle
Leaving sedentary lifestyles aside and exercising is important in order to achieve a healthier life. If you spend too much time on the sofa or don’t even like walking, then take advantage of the New Year to start a new cycle.
What’s more, you don’t need to spend money on gyms. There are several places in Lisbon where you can work out without paying anything. What are you waiting for?
Dating more
Once you’ve found your better half, make the most of it. For example, with a romantic dinner in this refuge in the center of Lisbon, a sailboat ride on the Tagus or a massage for two to (re)ignite the flame of passion.
Adopt a ‘little dog’
Animals can be our best friends… Dogs and cats can make a difference to each of our lives.
So, if you’re in a position to adopt responsibly, you can always go to an association and give a new home to a little dog.
If you already have the companion of your dreams by your side, take him to one of these pet-friendly spots in Lisbon.

Decorating the house
It’s important that you feel good in your home, so take advantage of the New Year to reorganize the space, decorate a new room, or even give your home a new lease of life with the most beautiful indoor plants.
Spend more time with the family
Life isn’t all work and family is very important for overall well-being! Grab the kids and take them to a super fun program like Indoor MiniGolf Lisboa.
It’s one of the most spectacular and fun experiences you can have in Lisbon and, just like the name says, it doesn’t matter if it’s cold or raining outside because this is an indoor space where you can have fun with the little ones.
Apart from this one, there are many other options for entertaining children in the city, which you’ll also like!
Live new experiences
How about taking to the skies over Lisbon and discovering the city from above during a helicopter flight?
You ‘ll never forget that feeling, but if you’re not ready yet, you can start with a series of less radical but equally incredible activities, like the ones we’ve included in this short guide to immersive experiences to do in Lisbon.
Consume more theater, cinema and music
There are no more exciting experiences than a trip to the theater, the cinema or to see a concert by your favorite music band.
Whether you choose theater, comedy or shows, immersive experiences or concerts, you have plenty of options.
Don’t miss out on all the concerts and music festivals taking place in Lisbon next year.
Surf more often
Have you always dreamed of grabbing a surfboard and heading for the giant waves of Nazaré?
They’re very dangerous and only for very well-trained professionals, so maybe you should start with the basics: learning on the waves of Costa da Caparica.
Discover a new vocation
Do you think you have a hidden talent for the arts that you’d like to perfect?
If learning to paint is on your New Year’s resolutions, take advantage of this workshop with painting and drinking in the dark.
Enter a black-lit room and create your own art. Brush in one hand, glass in the other (with or without alcohol), show the artist in you!
Paint in the Dark is a colorful experience that gives you carte blanche to express your creativity. You’ll love it!
Go to more parties
Do you miss the days when you were the first to jump on the dance floor and stayed there until the last song?
As one of your New Year’s resolutions, in the next 366 days that will happen again! And, by the way, let it be in one of these stylish places.
Taste more things
When you go to a restaurant, do you always order the usual bitoque?
Come on, dare to try new tastes and enjoy food from faraway places. How about Vietnam, Mexico , Peru , Brazil, India or traditional Portuguese?
Take part in an escape room
What? Are you the only one in your group of friends who’s never been to an escape room? Next year that’ll have to stop!
You have less than 60 minutes to book a unique and fun experience. The clock is already ticking!
