Glamour Night in Lisbon

Lisbon has long been known as a great city to party in. This tradition is alive and well and time spent out and about sampling the various flavours of nightlife in this old European capital is time well spent.

In recent years a lot of the action has moved from the traditional nightime centre of Bairro Alto - famed for its fado clubs, traditional, canteen-style bars and upmarket discos - to the up and coming dockland district (the Docks/Docas). Here at the Doca de Santo Amaro you’ll find a long row of converted warehouses given over to the pursuit of a good time with bar upon bar and party-goers lining the streets.

Before the night begins properly a glamorous and funky new Lisbon nightlife venue is called for, enter Belém is A Margem, a steel and glass bar/cafe creation right on the water's edge between the Monument to the Discoveries and the Torre de Belém.

When things kick off later try out the new rooftop terrace at the ultra-stylish LuxFrágil.  John Malkovich is said to be among those behind this funky and cool mega-club.
