What is this?
This experience takes you on a remarkable journey through Lisbon’s hidden gems and unexplored cool locations, guided by Gilby, a professional street photographer with an intimate knowledge of the city. Away from the touristy spots, this adventure offers a fresh perspective of the Portuguese capital, showcasing the authentic charm and vibrant creativity of Lisbon.
You will explore secret miradouros with breathtaking vistas, tucked-away alleys adorned with vibrant street art, and up-and-coming spots favored by local artists. More than a photo walk, you’ll also get a professional photoshoot with Gilby, allowing you to keep a memory of your journey to Lisbon.
Starting in a traditional neighborhood, you will meander through narrow streets with colorful facades and intricate tilework, visit local art hubs, and capture the serene ambiance away from tourist crowds. The journey culminates by the Tejo River, under the iconic 25th of April Bridge, where a sunset photo session awaits.

This is a rare opportunity to see Lisbon through the eyes of a local artist who knows the city by heart, discover secret spots that most tourists overlook, and meet the tight-knit community that makes this area so special. The experience includes personalized photography guidance, helping you improve your skills in composition and natural light. At the same time, Gilby offers you an authentic glimpse into the lives of locals and their daily routines.
