What to Wear in Lisbon in January
What to wear in Lisbon in January requires warm layers for average temperatures between 46°F and 58°F. A windproof jacket and waterproof grippy shoes are essential for rain-slicked Alfama cobblestones during 12 precip days and chilly Tram 28 hill climbs.
January is Lisbon's coldest, wettest stretch, with short days and about 12 rainy days that turn Alfama's stair-streets slick between miradouros. Wind-exposed Tram 28 routes make 46°F mornings feel colder than the 58°F high suggests, so a windproof mid-layer over breathable knits matches local elegant-casual style. Despite the damp chill, Belém's riverside and the Tagus waterfront stay walkable if you dress in quick-dry layers and scarves. Evenings drop further around Bairro Alto—pack a packable shell so post-sunset viewpoints stay comfortable without looking overdressed.
