Bairro Alto

When you ask for places in to enjoy Lisbon’s night you automatically hear “Bairro Alto”. Meaning “high district”, Bairro Alto is a maze of cobblestone narrows and its vibrant life during the day continues through the night with bars and restaurants. For younger people this is the place to be on weekends, when the streets get crowded full of nocturnal drinkers. Here you can find bars for all tastes: from caipirinha bars, to alternative live music, jazz or eletronic.

Cais do Sodré

Later on you will leave Bairro Alto and head to Cais do Sodré – another famous district in Lisbon’s nightlife. Once a seedy area of Lisbon, this is now a vibrant district full of bars and restaurants – the cool and place to be in the city! With a bohemian style similar to Bairro Alto, Cais do Sodré offers a great diversity of bars while the crowd get together outside drinking on the streets. Its main street, Rua Nova do Carvalho, known as “The Pink Street”, is famous worldwide and you may have seen it in multiple instagram photos. In the old days this district was full of brothels and decadence.

Bars

Pensão Amor

Translated to English, Pensão Amor means “Love Pension” because it was a cheap guest-house with rooms rented by the hour to prostitutes. This unique bar is located in Cais do Sodré, the former red light district where sailors came looking for company back in the old days. Established in an 18th century building along 5 floors, you can admire stunning views of the city while getting a burlesque and bohemian feeling.
