Dear Blanca,
I’m visiting the Florianopolis, FL area and am looking for a lively nightlife. Everyone I’ve talked to has said to investigate Portugal, but alas, I cannot venture there. Hence, I find myself in a predicament. I would be ever so grateful if you could clue me in on what kind of nightlife can be found in Portugal?
Thanks a ton,
Tiffany from Trenton, TN
Dear Tiffany,
I have been living in Lisbon, Portugal for the past two years, so I am quite familiar with the vibrant nightlife scene. From small bars with live DJs and craft beer tastings to major concert venues and world-renowned Techno clubs, Portugal has something to offer every kind of nightlifer.
If you are looking for a more intimate atmosphere with a few drinks and friends, I recommend the small bars scattered around the city such as Glam Lounge, Celestial Café and Disco, and Almadina Bar. For live music, Portugal is home to many popular venues that host the latest acts, ranging from traditional Fado performances to EDM singers and groups. But if you are looking to show off your moves (or even just watch the pros!), the Techno clubs in the Bairro Alto district of Lisbon are known for hosting some of the best DJs in the world.
Some unique experiences Portugal offers include:
– Parties on the city’s Urban Beach
– Beach clubs and bars in the Algarve
– Relaxing in medieval churches
And the list goes on! Portugal and Lisbon especially is an amazing holiday destination for anyone looking for a lively nightlife scene.
I hope you have an amazing and safe time in Florianopolis. To hear more about the nightlife scene in Portugal, feel free to reach out any time!
Happy travels,
Blanca.
