Plan this trip
Each site opens on its own search: choose your dates there. A few open on their home page, where you type the place too.
Links marked Ad pay us a commission if you book, at no extra cost to you; most pay nothing, and what a site pays never decides whether it is listed or where. How we rank

Travel insurance
Check whether your bank card or home insurance already covers this trip.
If the trip needs a visa, the travel agent or visa centre usually sells the cover it asks for.
Mobile data (eSIM)
Your own plan's EU roaming may already cover this.
Renting a pocket Wi-Fi is the other common way to stay connected.
These are sites people in book with. Each opens in a new tab, on the site's own pages.

Ten-year averages for this calendar month. 20 rainy days, as the weather station at Belem (4 km away) counts them: its December average over 8 years, 2017–2025 (WMO 82191). A rainy day is one with at least 1 mm of rain.
Weather read at the old centre, by the river, 9 km from the airport (BEL): ten years of ERA5 and ERA5-Land reanalysis, through Open-Meteo's open data.
