Why is it called Pink Street Lisbon?

Officially called Rua Nova do Carvalho, this small pedestrian street is better known as “Pink Street” since 2013, when an urban renewal project painted the pavement between the terraces, bars and clubs in pink. It has become Lisbon's hottest destination at night, and is also often used as an open-air art gallery.
