Pink Street

The colorful street of Lisbon

Lisbon is a very festive city since its tourism boom. Many bars and clubs have been created, which does not displease the young people of the capital who looking for nocturnal occupations.

Where can you find it?

The Rua Nova do Carvalho is located in the center of Lisbon in the district of Cais do Sodré. She is better known as Pink Street because of the pink color of its ground. It is famous for its very festive side with many themed bars and nightclubs.

A completely new image for the district

For many years, this street welcomed people with dubious intentions. It was a place of poor reputation because it was mostly frequented by criminals and prostitutes.

It was only in 2011, with a renovation and modernization project, it gave way to new bars and music clubs. From there, things change and the street begins to be more and more popular with young Lisbon’s residents but especially tourists from all over the world who come to enjoy the good festive atmosphere.

A peaceful space during daytime

During the day, the street is quiet enough, which is perfect for going for a walk or relaxing on one of the many bar terraces that are present. The space can be visited as an open-air art gallery with these original facades and these atypical windows.

If you’re passionate about photography or just looking to do the perfect Instagram photo, the best time to do it is during the day, when the street is the least frequented.

Nightlife in Pink Street

At night, Pink Street totally changes face. She leaves behind her beautiful pink color to make room for a crowd of people ready to have fun until the end of the night. That’s when nightclubs and night bars come on stage.
