One of the longest standing gay clubs in Europe and the largest in Portugal, Trumps truly offers something for everyone.

Located in what used to be Lisbon's red-light district, Viking Bar sticks to its roots and hosts an infamous adult show in the early hours every weekend.

For a decidedly more relaxed and low-key approach to the gay scene, spend an afternoon at Rendezvous.
