A little over a month until Christmas, Lisbon decorates its streets with more than two million bulbs of low consumption light throughout the city centre. Christmas suddenly feels closer. Even during these days when the cold invades the city, it is a pleasure to walk through the centre of Lisbon and admire the different styles of decoration here exposed. Walk down the Avenida da Liberdade, with its wide sidewalks and its beautiful gardens all lit. Go through the Rua Aurea where you will see the headquarters of Banco Santander-Totta, one of the most beautiful buildings in downtown Lisbon, surrounded by small white lights. Europe’s largest Christmas tree glows over the city from its riverside perch at the Praça do Comércio. I read online that there will be a municipal Christmas market, an ice rink, a big Ferris wheel in Marquês de Pombal, four days of free concerts in Terreiro do Paço and other attractions this year in Lisbon, this makes me very excited for the upcoming holiday season.
