With fewer tourists around, calmer streets and a surprising amount of charm left over from the festive season, January offers a real, comfortable and pleasantly affordable Lisbon experience. And, with the Hotel Portuense<\/b><\/a> right in the<\/b> very heart of the city<\/b>, guests can enjoy the most central and historic part of Lisbon at their own pace, without the usual queues or crowds.<\/p>\n
