Pink Street

This guide to Pink Street in Lisbon starts with Rua Nova do Carvalho as Lisbon's red-light district, where sailors stepping off ships from Rotterdam, Copenhagen, and Tokyo drank in bars named after their home ports. You'll hear about the bar owners' trick of making strangers feel briefly at home, and about the businesses, including one now called Pensão Amor, that filled the street through its wildest decades. Look down at the pavement before you walk it.
