1.Lisbon in the Top 29 cities to visitOften described as Portugal’s very own Rio, with the same sticky nights, urbansophistication and pulsing nightlife, Lisbon is a fitting capital for Spain’s sexy neighbor…

But it’s the city’s long-standing oldies that really cement Lisbon’s growing reputation as a foodie hot spot…

When it comes to clubs, Lisbon excels at two types: grubby live-music hangouts such as Musicbox, Paradise Garage and Maxime, and glamour-puss trance temples such as Lux, Kapital and Kremlin. Nothing gets going until after 2 a.m., so enjoy leisurely days, languid dinners, late-night partying, and a distinctly Lisbon way of life.
