Christmas in Lisbon – A Magical Season to Capture
When December arrives, Lisbon transforms into a glowing postcard. Strings of light dance across historic streets, the scent of roasted chestnuts fills the air, and music echoes between tram bells. It’s the kind of atmosphere that feels straight out of a storybook — and it deserves to be captured forever.

This season, join MD Fotografia for a Christmas photo session surrounded by Lisbon’s dazzling lights.

Where to find Lisbon’s brightest Christmas lights
