Considered to be among the best in Europe, Lisbon is well known for its nightlife.  It is home to many discos , Fado houses, and nightclubs, all catering to different tastes and interests and located throughout the city.  Nighttime venues begin opening their doors at sunset and often do not close until early the following morning.  With bars often remaining open until 2 AM and discos until 6 AM, a night out in Lisbon often does not end  until the next day.   

One of the aspects of Lisbon's nightlife that makes it unique are its Fado houses.  These intimate venues often serve traditional homemade food and drinks and host folk and acoustic musicians playing the traditional music of the country.  For more information on nightlife venues in Lisbon see the tourism board's nightlife page.
