About this experience

Lisbon has been displaying art for centuries. From the tiles present in almost every building to the sculptures and murals present in every corner, the Portuguese capital is one of the best cities in the world for those who love Art. On this tour, you will discover Lisbon in a way that you never saw or heard of before as we are going to explore not only the old town but also the industrial area of Xabregas, Chelas, and Marvila neighborhoods. You will understand why the art scene is so important in the city, who are the artists making their name locally and internationally, and the social/cultural aspects involved.

Last but not least: you will be guided on an electric tuk-tuk painted by one of the most remarkable Portuguese street artists, Ozearv, and we will also see his art around! At the end of the tour, an old building transformed into an art gallery, restaurants, and bars will wait for us for a little snack and drinks if you would like that! This place is 8 Marvila.
