Its melancholic charm, its intense nightlife, its down-to-earth yet proud and indomitable character make Lisbon one of the most evocative and best-loved European capitals.

Lisbon is a beautiful city full of charm. Don't miss neighbourhoods like Alfama and São Jorge Castle.


THE NEIGHBOURHOODS
The ancient and picturesque Moorish quarter of Alfama lies behind São Jorge Castle. The area never ceases to amaze with its views.
Strolling through Alfama's narrow, winding alleys you come into contact with the truest and most authentic soul of Lisbon.
The ancient Moorish quarter, dating back to the 11th century, stretches from behind the Castelo de São Jorge down to the Tagus and is a colourful, picturesque working-class district.
There are no particular sights to see here, but discovering its most hidden corners, the characteristic little squares where kids play football, and the small local shops frequented by residents will give you a truly unique experience.
At lunchtime you may well come across housewives grilling sardines right outside their front doors!



The Barrio Alto is without doubt the first Lisbon neighbourhood that comes to mind when talking about nightlife in the Portuguese capital. Its narrow streets are lined with an uninterrupted row of venues attracting a mixed crowd, mostly young people aged 20 to 35. Here, alongside deeply traditional spots like Tasca Do Chico (a tavern with hugely popular fado shows), you can find trendy cocktail bars, metal pubs and disco bars: there really is something for every taste. Almost all of them are tiny, bordering on claustrophobic, yet they manage to pack in an incredible number of thirsty visitors. There is no point coming here before eleven at night, as you would find the venues still empty, while from midnight onwards the bars and streets overflow with people.



Tram 28, Eléctrico 28 in Portuguese, could easily belong in a fairy tale, such is its magic! A ride up and down Lisbon on tram 28 is definitely one of the things to add to your to-do list if you want to visit the old part of the city in a truly Portuguese way. In Lisbon the tram is not just a simple means of transport, but a true icon closely tied to the culture of the Portuguese capital. Lisbon's first tram entered service in 1873, and in the early years of the twentieth century the first electric tramway began operating, reaching its maximum extension in 1959.



NIGHTLIFE IN LISBON
Versatile and eclectic, vibrant and energetic, Lisbon's nightlife starts after 11 pm and ends when it is already morning, with options for every taste. Trendy wine bars, traditional little venues full of lively conviviality, chill-out terraces and exclusive lounge bars, discos and trendy clubs open until morning, open-air live music events: in Lisbon there is no shortage of opportunities to end one day and start a new one in the name of fun.

Don't be misled by the Portuguese people's strong attachment to tradition: Lisbon is a young and energetic city and, from the 1990s onwards, it has forcefully reclaimed its role as a cutting-edge European capital, establishing itself on the continent as one of the “must” destinations for fun.
Lisbon's nightlife has nothing to envy that of other European capitals: it is versatile and eclectic, it starts late and ends when the sun is already high, with a diversity of options for all ages, all budgets and all musical tastes.
