Hidden gems and curated places around the world hand-picked for you for your next nomad journey.
Vintage cocktail bars of Lisboa
Some Lisbon bars feel like they were built last year. These ones feel like they've always been there. Pavilhão Chinês with its five rooms of antique tin soldiers, Procópio behind an unmarked red door celebrating 50 years of jazz and political conversation, Foxtrot with its fireplace and snooker table running until 2am — these are the bars where the city's writers, intellectuals, and old guard have been drinking for decades. Save this guide for the night you want Lisbon to feel like Lisbon.
Unique cocktail bars of Lisboa
The cocktail bars locals send each other to. Nine-seat speakeasies, Basque-Italian cocktail dens, secret rooms tucked into Praça das Flores — every one of them small, distinctive, and the kind of place you normally find wandering the streets off the beaten path.
Wine bars of Lisboa
Portugal makes some of the most interesting wine in Europe and almost nobody outside the country knows it yet. These are the rooms where you can actually taste it — small-producer naturals at Black Sheep on Praça das Flores, sommelier-led flights through every Portuguese region at Bico in Bairro Alto, indigenous-variety deep-dives at By the Wine on Rua das Flores.
