Lisbon In January: Weather, Events And Tours
January gives Lisbon back to itself. Daytime highs average 14.4C, cool rather than cold, and the summer crowds are months away. Rain falls on roughly ten days of the month, so a fado house, a food walk or a baking class fills the wet afternoons nicely, while a clear day is perfect for Sintra.

Lisbon In January: Questions Answered
Is January a good time to visit Lisbon?
Yes, if you like quiet streets and mild air. January highs average 14.4C against lows of 7.8C, so a coat for the evenings is enough. No major events are listed for the month, which suits visitors who come for the city itself rather than a festival. Tours also run with free cancellation throughout.
How much rain does Lisbon get in January?
About 95.9 mm across the month, spread over 9.9 days with at least 1 mm of rain, based on the official 1991 to 2020 averages. That still leaves most days dry or only lightly showered. For the wet ones, indoor picks like the tile painting workshop or a pastel de nata baking class are easy swaps, and both carry free cancellation.
What should I pack for Lisbon in January?
Layers, a light rain jacket and comfortable shoes for the hills. With highs near 14.4C and lows around 7.8C, mornings and evenings feel distinctly cooler than midday. An umbrella is wise given the rainy days, but January rarely calls for heavy winter gear. If a downpour lands mid-visit, the fado and dinner option keeps you indoors for two warm hours.
Are tours in Lisbon still running in January?
They are. The tours listed on this page run through the winter, from a 50-minute fado show from EUR 15 to a full-day Sintra trip from EUR 70. Every one of them offers free cancellation, so a shift in the weather costs nothing. Food walks, baking classes and tile painting all sit comfortably indoors on a rainy afternoon.
Is Sintra worth a day trip from Lisbon in January?
Yes, and winter is arguably the better season for it. The full-day small-group tour runs eight hours and costs from EUR 70 per person, covering the palaces without the long summer queues. Hilltop Sintra sits cooler than Lisbon, so bring the layers you would wear in the city plus a rain layer. Free cancellation applies if the forecast turns.
