Lisbon is quickly becoming one of Europe's hippest cities. Known for attracting flocks of Spaniards, Italians, Greeks and British to soak up its incredible club scene and nightlife. The city caters widely to most offerings from jazz to hip hop to techno and electronica. Major concert attractions are located along the Coliseu dos Recreios and also the Atlantic Pavilion.
An area called the Barrio Alto has been the area of Lisbon traditionally associated with nightlife. This area is actually the favored place for Portuguese to start the night off. Among the main places to go are whats called "fado locals" and it has some of the best and most alluring bars in the city. The is one cute, popular street with narrow streets and tiny bars. "Pretinha" or "black beer" is the most popular drink of the Barrio Alto but you can find almost everything to drink there. The best thing about the Barrio Alto is that bars close at around 4:00 in the morning!
So is Lisbon turning out to be a fascinating destination yet? To take in the culture of the city, you could try a restaurant in the Fado, where food is typically accompanied with enlivening local live music. Later, you may want to have a nice drink in on of the live music bars in one of the many locations around the city to top off the day.
Lisbon is an incredible, unique and lively city with a lot of history and a lot to offer. It also has some of the best nightlife in Europe and wonderful, Mediterranean climate. You'll really love your stay and probably won't want to leave!
