Night Life: Lisbon is gaining reputation as one of Europe's trendiest cities. Brits, Spaniards and Italians flock here to soak up its rich nightlife. The city caters to all offering everything from jazz to hip hop to electronica. The major concert venues are situated at Coliseu dos Recreios and the Atlantic Pavillion.
The Barrio Alto has been the traditional nightlife area in Lisbon. This is the favourite Lusos' area to begin the night. Among its main attractions there are the fado locals and some of the most charming bars of the city. This is a very particular neighbourhood, full of little streets with tiny bars. There people use to pile in the local's doors drinking and talking. The "pretinha" (black beer) is the typical drink of the Barrio Alto, but they use to drinkd all kind of the "caipirinha" too. About four in the morning tha Barrio Alto bars use to close and people go to other nightlife areas!
