About Lisbon and its gay life
Since the s Lisbon (Lisboa) became one of the new hot spots for travellers in Europe. It was European Capital of Culture in , in the World Expo was held in Lisbon and in the European Football Championship.
Vivid, small and steep historical streets, modernised areas, an extensive nightlife till initial morning and a fresh breeze from the sea even in scorching summers make Lisbon a pleasant place for relaxing, sightseeing and going out altogether.
Lisbon's gay scene also became very European. Especially in the Príncipe Real area and in the old Bairro Alto quarter you can find a very evident gay life at night. In Bairro Alto it is pleasantly difficult to say which bars are gay or gay-friendly or hetero-friendly or whatever.
Annual gay highlights and big events in Lisbon are the Bear Pride in May, the Marcha do Orgulho LGBTI and Arraial Lisboa Pride in June, the film festival Queer Lisboa in September and the huge technology conference Web Summit in November.

Lisbon is Gay
Gay and lesbian - it’s all queer. Lisbon considers itself a very gay-friendly city, but centuries of Catholic dominance still verb public sentiment quite conservative. While widespread opinion is changing for the better, you still don’t see many public displays of affection outside of a couple of neighborhoods. The most gay-friendly neighborhoods are the Chiado, Principe Real, Bairro Alto, and Santa Catarina.

Gay Clubs, Parties and Events in Lisbon
Keep in mind that clubbing in Lisbon doesn't really start before 2 or 3 in the morning, in summer even later. Instead people see friends and have a beverage in some of the bars before they continue the evening in the clubs.
