Cais do Sodré

[1] From 1855 onwards, several works were carried out to transform this unhealthy place into a landmark in the city of Lisbon at the time.

[2] With the arrival of these groups, Cais do Sodré was already a social reference[clarification needed] at the end of the 19th century.

It was a stage for intellectuals, bourgeoisie, dandies, artists and upper class individuals, especially at the Hotel Central, described by Eça de Queirós in his work Os Maias.

[3] By 2019 it was a historic and vibrant neighborhood, becoming one of the liveliest and busiest places in Lisbon.

It is famous for its nightlife, especially on Pink street (Rua Nova do Carvalho), with several entertainment options, from bars, restaurants and nightclubs.
