The list of Christmas markets in Greater Lisbon that you don’t want to miss this year: dates, times and where to find the best gifts

Save

We’re not fans of going to the big shopping malls to do our Christmas shopping. That’s why we love the typical Christmas markets, both in the city and on the outskirts.

The new Christmas markets are in vogue and serve, above all, to help local businesses and small producers, be they of food products or handicrafts.

It goes without saying that we love this time of year, when many of the squares and streets in Greater Lisbon are lit up (Baixa and Chiado), from the capital to Sintra or Cascais, filled with little stalls with all kinds of gift ideas for Christmas.

The city of Lisbon is home to most of the Christmas markets and fairs we usually visit at this time of year.

And these are just some of the ones that you too can visit and do your Christmas shopping. So, if you want to join us this year, take a look at our list of Christmas markets and fairs in and around the city.
