Pink Street (Rua Nova do Carvalho) is a popular tourist destination in Lisbon, Portugal. It is located in the neighborhood of Cais do Sodré, near the Tagus River. Cais do Sodré has a rich history as a port and transportation hub, and it was once a major departure point for ships bound for Brazil and other parts of the Portuguese Empire.
The street was once a red-light district, but it has been transformed into a lively nightlife spot with bars, clubs, and restaurants.
The street’s pink-painted roadway gives it its familiar name. The area is especially popular with young people and tourists, and it is known for its vibrant atmosphere and late-night parties.
In recent years, Cais do Sodré has undergone significant redevelopment, with new residential and commercial buildings, as well as a renovated waterfront promenade.
The neighborhood is easily accessible by public transportation, including trains, buses, and the Lisbon Metro.
For Pink Street, head to Cais do Sodré and walk to Rua Nova do Carvalho. The Cais do Sodré metro station is nearby; Tram28 and Martim Moniz are an unnecessary detour for this destination. Check the current service and your journey home before a late night.
Visit earlier in the day for a quieter look at the painted street, or in the evening for the bar scene. If sleep matters, compare room locations carefully: accommodation directly above nightlife can be noisy. Entry policies and any charges belong to individual venues, rather than the street itself.
