Off-season — lowest travel prices with still acceptable climate.
January in Lisbon is on the cool side — with highs around 14°C it's less suited for a beach holiday, but good for sightseeing away from the high season.
Daytime temperatures reach up to 14°C, cooling to 8°C at night (daily average: 11°C). With 5 sunshine hours per day and 6 rain days (68 mm), this is one of the cloudier months. At 14°C, the water is still quite cool in January — a wetsuit may be useful.
Pack warm clothing and sturdy footwear. Cool temperatures make hiking and cultural trips enjoyable — beaches are off the agenda.
