The managers of this key club in Cais do Sodré have music industry connections and exploit them creditably. It's one of the city's most interesting venues, with a regular programme of rock bands, electronic live acts, singer-songwriters and DJ sets (all night on Fridays). Note that some shows may start as late as 2am; for details, check the website, which is comprehensive. The space has an underground feel and look (it's literally beneath steep Rua do Alecrim) and is located in what was once one of Lisbon's seediest streets - and is now one of its buzziest at night.

or a few years, mister Lu had a clandestine restaurant in the Mouraria. In 2015, he traded his apartment for a dining room in Arroios, with a huge window facing the street, and hanged on his walls an old award: a board with his picture and the inscription “Award-winning chef with 35 years of experience”. The cuisine remains almost the same, with Sichuan classics and plenty of Shandong (Northeast China) influences, among which the spicy pork, the shrimp with peanuts, the frog legs and the sweet-and-sour fish.

The Graça District is one of Lisbon's oldest suburbs, located on top of her highest hill, a few blocks north-east of the Castelo de Sao Jorge and just up the hill from São Vincente de Fora Monastery. The neighbourhood, which centres around the Lago da Graça (the number 28 tram stops here), boasts some of the most spectacular views in Lisbon. The most famous viewpoint is the Miradouro de Santa Graca, which offers up the whole of central Lisbon and the castle to the north. An open-air cafe, open late into the night in Summer, is a favourite with young locals.

Founded on this spot in 1849, the factory of tiles and ceramics Viúva Lamego is now in Sintra, but the shop remains with its landmark façade.
The hand-painted works have decorated spaces like Lisbon's subway stations and Porto's Casa da Música concert hall, and are exported all over the world.
The pieces at this shop reproduce motifs from the 16th to the 18th centuries.

Dating from 1940, when the world was at war and Lisbon remained at peace, this is a monumental fountain placed in the center of a new neighborhood at the time, the "Avenidas Novas.” It’s made up of a large basin where the water falls from the upper platforms, and of several sculptures: Triton on horseback and four mermaids.
The name (“luminous fountain”) derives from the light show that happens every night (15 minutes after sunset), but there are also "water shows" every afternoon and night.
Due to the constant maintenance required, and to the high costs, the fountain is not always working. The water shows usually only happen between 12PM and 3PM, and from 6PM to 9PM.

face a common patio, that form small neighbourhoods with matching balconies such as Vila Berta. They used to be old palaces, occupied during the 19th century by the poorest workers who came to the
city to find work – nowadays they are residential areas that still maintain the charm of past days.
