The Portuguese go out dancing late – the clubs don’t get in full
swing until three in the morning. So you are strongly advised to start
your night out in Lisbon, bar hopping in Bairro Alto.
The bars are
lining the streets Rua da Rosa, Rua da Barroca and Travessa do Poco da
Cidade. That is an excellent place to down some booze and get in touch
with partying Portuguese before you continue out on the town.
Lux
The
night club Lux has almost become an institution in Lisbon’s nightlife.
Lux is located in an old hangar by the river Tejo. The interior design
is carried through with large chandeliers and plastic sun beds.
Upstairs there’s a lounge and downstairs you can find the huge dance
floors that DJ’s fire up with different kinds of electronic music.But
be prepared; you will not hear any cozy house music here! If you get
too hot you can cool off on the roof terrace of the club, from where
you have a fabulous view of the Tejo.
