Is Pink Street (Rua Nova do Carvalho) worth it as a couple?
Worth itAs a couple
As a couple, Pink Street (Rua Nova do Carvalho) works.
A fun, kitschy night-out anchor — pink tarmac, umbrellas strung overhead, bars packed wall to wall. The honest catch: it's an engineered-for-Instagram nightlife trap, touristy, sticky and dead/scruffy by day, with average overpriced drinks. Worth a photo and a stop on a Cais do Sodré crawl, not a pilgrimage.
Rua Nova do Carvalho in Cais do Sodré, a former sailors' red-light area, was painted pink in December 2011 as part of a nightlife/urban-renewal project by José Adrião Arquitectos. · archdaily.com
