Tour description

Dive headfirst into Lisbon's pulse with our electrifying Graffiti & Street Art Free Tour! It’s here, in the sprawling canvas of Lisbon's streets, where art rebels and vibrant narratives collide, crafting the city’s dynamic cultural identity.

Kick things off at Nossa Senhora da Saúde Chapel, right at Mouraria's colorful edge. You'll get the lowdown on Lisbon's graffiti saga and meet the movers of the GAU, setting the stage for an epic art adventure.

Wander through Mouraria, where every alley whispers tales of rebellion and beauty. At Beco dos Surradores, get up close with creations by icons like Gagosh and Losk, and dive into the debates over what draws the line between legal and rogue art.

Then, cozy up at Largo dos Trigueiros, where “Urban Knitting” weaves a tender touch into the urban fabric, showing street art's softer side. Amid the yarns and colors, feel the city’s heartbeat.

Beco das Farinhas offers a poignant pause with Camila Watson’s tribute, sparking conversations on gentrification and the fight to keep Lisbon's soul alive amidst change.

Saunter to São Cristóvão Square, where street art meets Fado tunes. Here, 'Fado Vazio' mural bridges art and Lisbon's soulful sounds, painting stories of cultural fusion.

At Achada Square, Andrea Tarli’s “Smile!” throws shade at mass tourism’s footprint, urging mindful exploration. Nearby, powerful murals like TB Boy’s “Mourinho” and “Coexist” champion peace, portraying a world where unity prevails.

Witness VHILS’ “Anonymous gazes” on Lagares Street, where his chiseled portraits echo Mouraria’s historical whispers, and Graça Garden blooms as an artistic sanctuary, blending nature with creative expressions.

Mário Belém’s “Saudade” on Damasceno Monteiro Street and Bordalo II’s maritime “Ferryboat” capture the essence of Lisbon’s spirit and resilience, while a collaborative masterpiece by Obey and VHILS on Senhora da Glória Street merges faces and stories in a universal call for harmony.

The journey crescendos at Nossa Senhora do Monte, with Lisbon sprawling beneath in a breathtaking panorama, encapsulating our voyage through the city’s art-infused soul.

This isn’t just a tour; it’s a passport to the heart of Lisbon’s street art revolution, where every piece tells a story of hope, struggle, and beauty. Secure your spot on the Graffiti & Street Art Free Tour and let Lisbon's walls whisper their tales to you. Get ready for an unforgettable journey where the streets of Lisbon turn into a gallery of dreams and defiance.
