Januar 01 2025
Culturele 
Oh, January! The month that seems endless, when wallets still feel the weight of Christmas and New Year's Eve. In Lisbon, however, there are a series of economical – and even free – activities to enjoy this month. Here's a guide to tackling the "biggest month of the year" with style and creativity.
1. Enjoy Museums and Monuments on Free Days
Lisbon has a unique cultural richness, and many of its museums offer free entry on certain days or times. Some highlights include:
• National Tile Museum and National Museum of Ancient Art (free entry on Sundays until 2pm).
• Money Museum – always free and interactive, perfect for reflecting on finances while learning about the history of money.
• Stroll around the Jerónimos Monastery or the Belém Tower, with free entry on Sundays for residents of Portugal.
2. Hiking
There's nothing like exploring a city on foot. Climb the city's hills and enjoy the views of the city without spending a cent. The Miradouro da Senhora do Monte, for example, is one of the highest points in the city, with a unique panoramic view of the city. Or the Miradouro de Santa Catarina (Adamastor), perfect for relaxing with a book or watching the sunset.
3. Discover Local Markets
Visiting markets is an economical and fun way to discover the best things to do in the city. At Mercado de Campo de Ourique you can find handicrafts, at Mercado da Ribeira, you can taste snacks or just absorb the atmosphere.
4. Explore the Gardens and Parks
January in Lisbon can be cool, but there are many sunny days perfect for a walk: Avenida da Liberdade, Jardim da Estrela, Parque Eduardo VII, Campo Grande, Belém, are very pleasant places, which provide good photos and good moments
5. Low-Cost Cinema or Theater Sessions
Many cinemas and theaters offer discounts on certain days. For example, reduced price screenings on Mondays at Cinema City. See the city's events calendar at Time Out, NIT or Agenda Cultural. There is always something free or affordable happening. For example, the Belém Library offers free events, from lectures to film screenings.
6.Tram Tour
A unique experience in a traditional form of transport through emblematic places such as Estrela or Belém. The price of a daily Carris ticket costs around €6
Local Gastronomy segments at affordable prices in local restaurants: try the traditional pork meat sandwich or cod pastries and feel truly a Lisbon native.
January may seem like the biggest month of the year, but with a little bit of creativity you can enjoy Lisbon without extravagance. After all, the best experiences are often the simplest.
At Hotel Marquês de Pombal there are also special rates for this time of year. Come and talk to them and enjoy the best location in the city as a starting point to enjoy the best the city has to offer.
