Lisbon is a great place for partying and is one of Europe's best clubbing cities. You can choose from the eighties hip-hop to hard rock, from dancing to house or to the tunes of a live band. Most of these clubs are located on the riverfront. The usual practice in Lisbon is to go pub hopping, have a fulfilling dinner and then move on to the dance floor. The club scene really starts around 2 am and continues until dawn. This guide introduces you to some of the best dancing clubs in Lisbon.
Tour Stops and Attractions
1) Op Art
The Op Art has a vantage location, just below the 25 de Abril Bridge. The space is a simple transparent cube form made from glass and has a great terrace. Inside the décor is dominated by decorative elements that are based on simplistic geometric figures. This place is actually a café by the day and turns to a music club at night. After dinner is over, the entire floor is made available for dancers and you can jive away to the sounds of electronica till the wee hours of the morning.
