A really great study of street art in Lisbon. If you want to travel around Lisbon and take Instagram pictures in front of the biggest/most iconic street art in Lisbon, this isn't your tour. But if you want something that helps you understand the cultures of Lisbon's various neighborhoods and street art as an art form better, this is definitely the tour for you. The tour felt thoughtful and deliberate, with themes from the beginning growing and intertwining as the tour progressed. The diversity of styles and artists was great. So too was getting a sense of the various neighborhoods we visited.

This tour felt personal. We had a lot of back and forth conversation with our guide that you just wouldn't get on most other tours. It really made for a wonderful few hours and a nice close to our time in Lisbon.

Description

Take in the colourful streets of Lisbon, an open-air gallery for today's most innovative urban artists. Study works, from graffiti to sophisticated murals, as you get a feel for the locals, or alfacinhas (little lettuces) as they’re lovingly called.

After meeting your art guru at our office, you’ll set out on a tour of the city’s frequently changing offerings. See whimsical murals of animals, for example a horse that covers an entire side of a building, as well as political and social statements, such as Über’s ‘Boy Crying’, which contrasts with the affluent area surrounding it.

View small masterpieces concealed in the hidden alleys and narrow streets of the Old Town, and large-scale modern installations in wide, open areas, many of which have been made possible due to the local government's huge focus on urban renewal. Enjoy seeing works in progress, as well as some that have been there for decades.

Lisbon is renowned for its thriving street art scene – we're looking forward to introducing you to it!

for Private Street Art Tour of Lisbon

Very knowledgeable about street art...in general and in Lisbon, but also about the city and its history. He is friendly, patient and so happy to share his passion. We were very lucky to get him for the tour, which by itself is a fantastic way to explore the city upon arrival
