Lisbon has an open minded, boisterous nightlife which goes down, up and around for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Whether you’re a party animal or prefer something more sedate, there’s something for you here.
Most visitors head first to the lively, perennially popular Pink Street (just round the corner from the Time Out Market) which has several restaurants, bars and clubs. Make Sol E Pesca your first port of call, for a few snacks of conserva – tinned sardines, horse mackerel or octopus (to name but a few) on bread – paired with a beer and a spot of people watching.
Pensao Amor is perhaps even more beloved, full of both locals and visitors alike, with its colourful decor and reliably noisy atmosphere. If you want to don your dancing shoes after that, then Europa is guaranteed to get you sweaty.
If you’re after live music head to Pink Wine Point. However, if you’re up for something a little different, Lisbon also boasts one of the world’s best casinos, just a half hour bus ride on the 728 away from Pink Street in the city’s glamorous theatre district. Opened in 2006, it’s the 9th largest casino in the world and the continent’s biggest.
