If you’re visiting Portugal for the first time and you are planing on celebrating New Year’s in Lisbon but still don’t know what your plans will be on the most important night of the year, rest assured, we have laid out a few options for you:

Lisbon welcomes the new year in style with one of the biggest and most spectacular street parties. This is one of the most important celebrations of the year. In the barrio of Belem, the street parties usually take place at the Torre de Belem (Belém Tower Gardens), where there is live music, dancing and an amazing pyro-musical display at midnight. DJs play until sunset while keeping crowds entertained. There are parties in many bars, restaurants and clubs throughout the city.

This year, the Beatles are back, you can travel back in time to the 60’s and dance to the electrifying tunes of one of the most famous bands of all times. Enjoy the Get Back from the Beatles Tribute Band.

The events usually start at around 10pm so make sure you arrive early to get a good spot. Admission is free.

And just after the fireworks the Portuguese Rock Band XUTOS & PONTAPÉS will keep everyone dancing all night long.
