Step onto Pink Street, the bright-painted lane at the heart of Cais do Sodré's nightlife. Walk its length, snap the colourful pavement, and soak up the buzz of the surrounding bars once evening arrives.

📖

Full description

Pink Street, in the Cais do Sodré neighbourhood, was once a red-light district and was repainted bright pink in 2011 to revitalise the area. It is now defined by its bars and late-night crowds, which reviewers say make it livelier in the second half of the evening than by day.

Opinions are mixed: some find it a fun, photogenic spot with a distinctive look, while others report litter and a less polished feel than photos suggest. Treat it as a short stop, around half an hour, to sample the area's nightlife energy.

Reviews

Pink Street is probably a spot I wouldn’t recommend if you’re short on time. The street felt a little dirty when we visited, and the hanging umbrella decorations didn’t feel particularly unique, as you can find similar ones in many other countries. It’s fine if you happen to be nearby, but I wouldn’t go out of my way…
