Lisbon: The Portuguese golden egg
Musical expression fills the heart of Lisbon, through the open-air cafes and bars to the clubs along the River Tagus, down to the long white sand beaches flanking the Portugese capital - a fantastic backdrop for your time away.
For a traditional image of Portugal, Fado House provides a window onto a typical Portuguese scene, whereas the nightlife can be sampled along the waterfront, notes World 66.
Those looking for more active forms of recreation during the day can relax on the golf course or try their luck at the casino - although lovers may prefer the romantic town of Sintra, with its beautiful landscape providing the perfect picture against which to enjoy a quiet night with that special someone.
Tourists can get into the swing of things in Bairro Alto and go down to Trumps, Fragil and Lux Fragil. Be warned, these hot discos are always busy, so entry may be a tight squeeze.
Lastminute.com states that Lisbon "takes its nightlife seriously" - although with a minimum drinking age of 16, the punters might get a little silly on occasion!
