Calle Rosa Being is arguably the top famous street of Barrio Alto, found only five minutes’ walk away from the ever beautiful garden of Sao Pedro de Alcantara. Do note that this street has notable names like Rua da Rosa or Nova do Carvalho. This street changed noticeably when architect Jose Adriao painted pink on the traditional grey color of streets. These days, Pink Street has become part of Lisbon’s nightlife scene. After the repainting, eight advertising structures called MUPIS change the tone depending on what product or event is being promoted. The lively nightlife scene in Lisbon attracts everyone, locals or tourists. Along Pink Street, you will find cool bars, fine restaurants, and amazing clubs, all of which fit gorgeously in the background of the attractive pink color.

Tip from Content Creator

One of our favourite things to do in a new city is to go for a local stroll as soon we as arrive and climb up high vantage points if possible. We made it to Lisbon just in time for dusk and explored Castelo de S. Jorge, where we loved the gorgeous views of the city, including Alfama. Travelers under 25 can enter Castelo de S. Jorge for half price!

Here are a few more of our recommendations for evening views in Lisbon:

- The Lumiares Hotel & Spa
