The 60 best reasons for a night out in Lisbon

Lisbon invites you to go out at night. The same diversity that captivates you during the day is also evident at night in alleyway bars, dance floors animated by renowned DJs, in the traditional houses of Fado, in rooftops offering starry skies, in spots of culture and live music, in lounges & cocktail bars & wineries & gastro pubs… And in all else you can discover every other door in some of the city’s boroughs.

Lisbon is as vibrant at night as is during the day and it is worth keeping track of its heartbeat. Follow us to the city’s most thrilling nightspots.
