Where to Stay in Lisbon for New Year
New Year is one of the biggest nights in Lisbon, centred on the riverfront and the downtown squares, with music and fireworks over the Tagus. If you want to be in the thick of it, where you stay makes all the difference.
The Night
Where the night happens
The celebration centres on the river and the downtown squares, with Praça do Comércio and the Tagus waterfront at its heart. From a central base you can walk down to the fireworks and, just as importantly, walk home in minutes afterwards with no taxi queue and no surge fare on the busiest night of the year.
Where to Stay
Where to stay for New Year
Residentas Áurea in Baixa and Residentas Arco do Bandeira by Rossio are closest to the downtown squares and the riverfront, with Residentas Apóstolos in Chiado and Residentas São Pedro in Bairro Alto a short walk up the hill. New Year is the peak winter night in the city, and the most central apartments go first, so book early. For the wider season, see our guide to Lisbon in winter.
