About this experience
This is a photo walk for the curious, a mindful experience for the seekers of meaning — a slow, fun and creative approach to the city of Lisbon, slightly off the tourist trails.
During the walk, you will be assigned a creative challenge that will stimulate your vision and enable you to make intentional, strong images. You will explore deeper layers of Lisbon.
Whether you’re a seasoned photographer or an absolute beginner armed only with a smartphone, give yourself the opportunity to experience the joy of seeing.
Escape from the crowds, embrace photography as a mindful exploration.

Important notes
Once you have booked through Viator, we'll send you an email with the schedule of walks, so that you can choose the one you'd like to join. Groups are min. 4-5 and max. 10.
By email, we will confirm the meeting spot, time and other details of the activity.
When joining our walks, you commit to behaving responsibly, respecting the law and behaving respectfully with everyone when making pictures in the streets. Our walks are open to all and, when joining, you commit to behaving kindly and respectully with other participants and guides — in short, bring good vibes to the group.
You acknowledge that you are the sole responsible for your own safety and belongings.
This is an activity designed with adults in mind: children over 8-year old can participate in the company of their parents and under the sole responsibility of the parents.
You are aware that the weather can sometimes be very hot in Lisbon and that you should wear a hat, use sunscreen and carry plenty of water. You should also wear comfortable walking shoes.
The average duration of a walk is around three hours. These are slow-paced walks in order to allow plenty of time to make pictures.
You are aware that each participant should bring a camera (a smartphone counts as a camera) and that they should know how their camera works as there will not be any time dedicated to exploring the settings and technical dimensions of cameras and photography.
When joining our walks, you commit to following the guide's instructions: they're there to ensure that all enjoy the experience.
Your privacy matters: we will only use the personal data you share with us for the purposes of organising your walk.
When you share images with us, you grant us a non-exclusive right to use these images for the purposes of illustration and promotion of Lisbon Creative Photo Walks online and in other supports. We will always credit the author of the images and you remain the sole owner of your work.
