NIGHT SPOTS: In Bairro Alto: go to the Erasmus corner (you'll know the exact location by the time you get there), the 1 Euro shot place and the cheapest beer is there along with really OPEN and friendly people :P In Cais do Sodre: Irish Pub all the way! CLUBS: Pricey: The LUX; Kremlin; Kapital; Kubo Normal: Santiago Alquimista; W Disco Just for fun: Alive Bar; any disco with other Erasmus people NOTE: Do not miss any party in DOCAS CAFE: the corner cafe always has great coffee (get a bica for a fully flavored shot of espresso) Food: splurge; eat all their delicacies; Portuguese cuisine is as much of a gustatory experience as any other cuisine out there, probably even more! Events not to miss: As an Erasmus student: meeting w/ the mayor; the ROMAN RUINS THAT ONLY OPEN ONCE A YEAR (Google when) As a student of UNL: the Gala and the annual "hazing" of the freshmen As a person: ANY and every party, bar hopping, late night excursion with non-countrymen, Erasmus trips to other cities and countries, etc. Places: A. "The streets and sidewalks of Portugal are its greatest monument" B. Belem Tower; Vasco da Gama area; Alfama district; Colombo mall (note: citizens of countries with HUGE malls should not bother to consider this unique); all their monuments which are in the center of rotondas/roundabouts; Jeronimos Monastery; Oceanarium; Roman Ruins; Aqueducts; Zoological Gardens; all the Cathedrals; etc.

Lisbon has a lot of activities, the city is amazing. I always looking for something to do, for exemple: go to the beach (20min by train), take a coffee in beatiful viewpoint (coffee is really good!!), fotography exhibitions, free courses (portuguese, english, spanish) in a cultural center and Lisbon is full of people at night. Lisbon has a good environment and there is people from Brazil, AFrica, Europe...and Exist a good integration

The nicest place for a coffee & great and to relax: pois café, o café austriaco: alfama, right of sé (cathedral): rua sao joao da praca 95. Lisbon is a quite big city and no "university town" - so of course there is not only student life. However, exchange students usually stick quite together.

There are some very good places where you can have fun in the Night: Docas, Santos, Oriente, Bairro Alto (Mezcal is the meeting place of the Erasmus students). There is also a very nice place in Alfama called Chapito and a very good "pastelaria" in Baixa Chiado called "Lua de mel"

Bairro Alto is great neighbourhood. Some bars and discos in Santos are great as well. But absolutely the best is Lux (near Sta Apolonia)! Go there, you'll have fun for sure: not too expensive, no discrimination boys/girls, great music and atmosphere,...

The best place in Lisbont o go out is in Bairro Alto. A great neighbourhood in the city's center with many bars, night clubs and restaurants for young people. ALso very nice is the club lux, a little further away from the center.

Nightlife in Lisbon is just amazing. All kinds of night spots, indoor and outdoor, many areas full of places and I guess by far the lowest prices in Western Europe.

Lux, Kapital, Docas. Ladies' Nights are held during the week in many clubs! Don't go out with a big group, you will not get in most clubs then!

One who goes to Lisbon should not miss the wonderful Hot Dogs and Hamburger that you get in front of the Discos! The best thing about night-life in Lisbon! And watch a match of Benfica or Sporting - or Benfica against Sporting! Gulbenkian-Museum and it's park is a must for museum-lovers!!
