Lisbon In December: Questions Answered
How cold and wet is Lisbon in December?
Not very cold. December averages a high of 14.9C and a low of 8.7C, based on long-run IPMA climate normals. Rain totals about 100 mm across the month, spread over roughly 9.7 days with 1 mm or more, so most days stay dry. A jacket and an umbrella cover you, and indoor options like fado or a baking class fill any wet evening.
Which tours are best in Lisbon in December?
The Christmas Lights Eco Tuk Tuk tour is made for the season, at one hour and from EUR 35 per person. Rainy days suit the Pastel de Nata baking class (from EUR 65) and the tile painting workshop (from EUR 43). A Max 8 Sintra full-day trip still works well in winter light, and fado with wine starts from just EUR 15.
Is December a good time to visit Lisbon?
Yes, if you like mild weather and thinner crowds. With highs near 15C it is cooler than summer but far warmer than most of Europe in December. Rain arrives on about ten days, so pack layers and a waterproof layer. Tour prices on this page stay low, with fado from EUR 14 and a food walk from EUR 65, and every listing offers free cancellation.
What should I pack for Lisbon in December?
Layers are the answer. Nights drop to an average of 8.7C while afternoons reach 14.9C, so a warm midlayer plus a rain jacket handles both. Bring sturdy shoes for cobblestones and hills, since about 9.7 days of the month see measurable rain. An umbrella earns its place too, and waterproof shoes help on the Alfama slopes.
Can you do a Sintra day trip from Lisbon in December?
You can. The Max 8 Sintra full-day tour runs year-round, lasts 8 hours and starts from EUR 70 per person, with free cancellation if the forecast turns. December highs near 15C make the walking between Pena Palace and the town centre comfortable, though the hilltop can feel raw in wind, so take a warm layer. Rain hits fewer than ten days a month on average.
