Lisbon's dizzying nightlife (

is a mix of old-school drinking dens, brassy
jazz clubs and stylish lounges. The challenge is where to begin. You can start the evening
with sunset drinks on a panoramic terrace overlooking the city, then head to Bairro Alto for
tapas and early-evening cocktails on people-packed, bar-lined streets. Then head downhill
to Cais do Sodré, a former red-light district turned hipster playground, or to Bica for a
lively local bar scene. At the end of the night there's always riverside Lux, still one of Por-
tugal's best nightspots.
