Europa

In a scruffy street that's now one of Lisbon's busiest, doors open on to a brightly coloured, modern club that buzzes with life most nights, hosting a healthy mix of DJs spinning various genres (from midnight) including cutting-edge electro. It regularly hosts music launches, slam poetry events and exhibitions. Smoking is allowed. Due to new local restrictions on opening hours, the club's legendary after-hours parties now take place at Europa Sunrise (Pátio do Pinzaleira 26, open 5-10am Sat, Sun & hols) in an alley off Avenida 24 de Julho (nos.68 & 70) in Santos.
