r/Lisbon

19M and my friend is aswell, we want to go to Lisbon but just want to double check that it’s got good nightlife and there’s a beach nearby before we book.

We’re not into history just want to be have some fun but not like Napa or Ibiza.

Random question for the Portuguese locals in here!

Where can I meet professional, corporate Portuguese men in Lisbon in their 30s, where would you actually go?

I'm not talking about dating apps. I mean the places they genuinely hang out after work or at weekends. Wine bars, cafés, sports clubs, networking events, neighbourhoods, social spots, anything like that.

I've realised most of my social circle is expats, so I don't naturally cross paths with many Portuguese professionals. I'd love any recommendations from people who know the local scene!

From Toronto and it seems like it was blast having Portugal in our town for the win yesterday!

I’ll actually be in Lisbon on Monday when Portugal and Spain will be playing and just went to find out where a great place would be get some food and watch the game?

Are there specific areas or restaurant recommendations where there would be lots of screens?

Hello everyone, i have a problem where professional services don't seem to be willing to help and i hope someone has experiences with similar problems or can give me tips or recommendations.

The problem is that a spider egg sack has hatched in my bedroom, i have around 50 spider hatchlings in the ceiling corners of my bedroom and the hallway in front of it.

I tried to call pest control but they simply refused the service because the spiders are not dangerous and the number is not considered a problem, another one was asking way more than would be normal and said the wouldn't even remove webs and the dead spiders.

I thought of simply cleaning them out myself, but i have severe arachnophobia and just freeze as soon as i see them moving. I contacted a cleaning service but they said they can't handle this because the spiders will come back if not treated by pest control.

Does anyone know a company or even a private person in between these two, who can kill the spiders and clean the webs and spiders out at the same time, for a reasonable price?

Hola,

Today is our last day in lisbon and we wanna have lunch in a place that prepares Portuguese speciality without being Also a tourist trap ( I feel like every restaurant in downtown try to sell you something)

Do you have any suggestions please.

Hello, I'm a big football fan.

I know that Benefica and sporting. But I look for shop in Lisbon or not that far from the downtown to buy a local team jearsy that aren't Benefica or sporting, I tried força Portugal thinking I'll find boavista jearsy but they told me that is a Porto team. So any advice (saw a beautiful amadora jearsy with Henry the navigator but I think tomorrow I can't go to amadora due the flight in 16h)

Hello,

There’s a possibility I’ll come to work at Monte de Caparica for several months.

I plan to stay at Lisbon and commute to Monte de Caparica every morning or stay at Monte de Caparica instead.

Which safe areas do you recommend to stay? I’ve heard that Monte de Caparica isn’t recommended.

Thanks.

Olá - is there anywhere in Lisbon that sells specialty tools for electronics?

I'm looking for a _tiny_ wrench - a .05mm hex wrench - to fix a small MIDI controller that has had some parts get a bit loose during travel. Trying to avoid Amazon etc.

Thanks for any help!

Hi guys, I have been living in Lisbon for a few months now, and going back home for a few days soon. I wanted to bring some souvenirs back for my friends and family.

Besides the obvious cork/pastel de nata stuff, would any of you guys have any tips for me on a 'niche' souvenir? I cant seem to find anything cool.

Please let me know!

To the beautiful and charming french-speaking (🥵) woman who sat next to me on the London Luton-Berlin flight on Thursday 25 june and then struck up a conversation with me while waiting to do the biometrics / passport control bullshit: I 1000000% would have awkwardly asked you out for a date before you tragically leave London if you hadn't been distracted by your lost luggage.

Hope your suitcase turns up and you have a lovely weekend with your friend. Lisbon will be a far sunnier place with you in it :D

Curse you, easyjet, you utterly inept swines.

A few weeks ago, we tried an experiment through our Cake & Tea Club in Lisbon.

We invited people to a beginner singing workshop led by Nora, a former lawyer who left her legal career to become a singer and vocal coach.

The only rule? You didn’t need to know how to sing.

Thirteen people came. Most of them had never sung in front of anyone before.

We started with humming exercises because everyone was a little nervous. Then Nora gradually helped us find our voices, one tiny step at a time.

Less than an hour later, all 13 of us were standing together singing Heal the World by Michael Jackson.

It wasn’t perfect. But somehow, it didn’t matter.

There was something really moving about hearing people from different countrie.. most of whom had met only an hour earlier.. singing together. ☺️☺️💛

Afterwards, we stayed for homemade vegan & gluten-free lemon blueberry cake from our little home bakery, Lisbon Bakes, along with tea and coffee. We ended up chatting for hours, laughing about how none of us thought we’d actually be able to sing when we first arrived.

It reminded me how many adults secretly want to try creative things but think they’re “not artistic enough.”

Sometimes all it takes is one person creating a safe space.

We’re planning another session soon, and it made me wonder…

If you live in Lisbon, what’s one creative hobby you’ve always wanted to try but never had the courage to?

I'm choosing my course for 10° ano in Lisbon and I'm considering Artes Visuais.

I'm curious: is Visual Arts a popular choice in Portuguese secondary schools, especially in Lisbon? Or do most students choose Ciências e Tecnologias or Ciências Socioeconómicas?

My second choice is Socioeconómicas.

For those who took Artes Visuais:

How many students were in your class?

Did you enjoy it?

What did most people do after finishing school (university, design, architecture, etc.)?

Do you regret choosing it?

I'd appreciate hearing about your experiences.

Hello everyone 👋

I’m going to Lisbon in August and I’m looking for techno clubs. I’m mainly into hard techno and industrial techno, but I enjoy pretty much every style of techno, so that’s not a deal-breaker.

A few things I’m looking for:

1 - The best lineups

2 - A spacious and good-looking venue

3 - A club that’s selective at the door and doesn’t just let in every drunk person

For those who’ve been to Paris, I’m looking for something similar to the **Mia Mao** or **Phantom**.

Any recommendations?
