Practical information : Going out Portugal
Timetable
The nightlife comes alive especially on weekends, from Thursday to Saturday evening, a little like in France. In summer, it's every day!
To be booked
For theatre shows, football or any other performance, reservations are strongly recommended to ensure availability.
Night transport
The metro in Lisbon and Porto ends at 1am. Night buses from Rede da Madruga (www.carris.pt) take over. Find the interactive maps on the website to know the routes and schedules. They travel through most of the city at a frequency of generally 20 to 30 minutes. If you don't want to wait, choose a taxi or, much better, an Uber.
Age restrictions
Alcohol consumption is from 18 years of age. You may be asked for your identity card or passport at the entrance of some bars that only accept adults (which is usually the case) or when you wish to drink alcohol. So always carry your papers with you.
Smokers
Smoking is officially banned in bars. This measure passed in 2015 gave establishments that had two separate smoking/non-smoking areas five years to adjust.
Tourist traps
For shows, always buy your tickets on the official website or at the ticket offices. Don't accept people who might offer you tickets on the run, it's more prudent...
