Insider Tips

  • The best way to get around Lisbon (at night) is Uber, they are cheap and easy, but trams & night buses also work if you’re feeling adventurous.
  • Most bars have free cover charges, but clubs may charge €10-€20, usually with a drink included.

Caipirinhas & ginjinha (Lisbon’s cherry liqueur) are staples—both taste even better after a few rounds of dancing.
