Walk Lisbon’s old center with guides such as Pedro or Vasco, stopping for striking murals and city views on a two-hour photo tour. The route climbs from downtown toward the castle hill, so wear good shoes. Tours run in English, Portuguese, or German, with small groups and a meeting point at BessaHotel Liberdade.
“Pedro was a great guide who clearly has a passion for street art. We were taken to parts of Lisbon that we never would have gotten to see outside of the tour, and saw so much fantastic street art. Also, we were picked up straight from our Air b&b which was super helpful, and asked where we would like to be dropped off so we got a lift to the next sight we planned on visiting :) THANK YOU!”
Start at Miradouro da Graça, then walk through Graça, Mouraria, and Alfama to see works by Vhils, Nomen, Odeith, and Gonçalo Mar. Your English-speaking guide connects each piece to Lisbon’s politics, culture, and daily life, with stops at Portas do Sol and São Jorge Castle views.
“The Street Art Walking Tour exceeded our expectations and my 23 yr old daughter said it was easily the best part of our trip. The depth of knowledge and details our guide provided insight into the lives, history and politics of the artists. The guide was also super attentive to our safety while walking the streets, navigating traffic, cracks in the sidewalks and protruding stone tiles. Our tour ended in the most unexpected place but was easily the most impressive of all the works we saw that day. If you enjoy art, are interested in history, politics and literature, it will be one of your best memories!”
Pick a coast, a cellar or a cliff.
