Itinerary
Day 1
Morning private tour meeting at the hotel then a curated route visiting murals, viewpoints and LX Factory with short transfers—designed for group photos and local hangouts.
Meet your guide — VIP Executive Éden Aparthotel
Quick welcome, safety briefing and review of the day’s route. Guide hands out bottled water and sets photo/meeting points.
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive 5 min early so the group can depart promptly — the tour is timed tightly.
- Charge phones & bring a small lightweight bag for camera gear; the guide can recommend the best angles for group shots.
- If anyone wants espresso before we leave, the hotel café has quick take-away — saves time for photography stops.
Transfer to Amoreiras / Campolide area (short taxi)
Short private transfer to the Amoreiras area to start the street-art observation in quieter residential streets.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask the driver to drop you at the backstreets closest to the murals (not the shopping centre entrance) to avoid the main road noise.
- Keep your group together in taxis — Lisbon streets are narrow and it's easy to lose a person in side lanes.
- If anyone prefers tram views instead, tell the guide; but for time-efficiency we use a short taxi for the group.
Observation of urban art — Campolide & Amoreiras
Guided walk through murals and painted facades between Campolide and Amoreiras. The guide explains artists, techniques and hidden stories.
Tips from local experts:
- Best group photo spot: the long mural by the small square near side-streets — ask the guide to set up a wide shot.
- Wear comfortable shoes — some stretches have uneven pavements; bring a lightweight jacket for spring breezes.
- Ask the guide about local artists' Instagram handles — many works move or change, and the guide can point you to collectible prints.
Transfer to Avenida da Liberdade (short drive / walk)
Move toward Avenida da Liberdade where modern street art meets grand boulevards and boutique façades.
Tips from local experts:
- If you want souvenir stickers or prints, keep an eye out for a small kiosk near the avenue — great for group mementos.
- Stretch your legs during the short transfer — the avenue walk includes some standing/photo time.
- This stretch can be windier in spring; secure hats and loose items before getting out for photos.
Walk along Avenida da Liberdade — street-art details & architecture
Explore the avenue’s street-level art, decorative plaques and the occasional commissioned mural; great for candid urban photos.
Tips from local experts:
- Best photo combo: capture a mural with the avenue’s tree-lined perspective behind it for dramatic depth.
- Pick a café terrace along the avenue if the group wants a short caffeinated pit-stop — terraces take groups easily.
- The guide can point out art that references Lisbon’s tiles (azulejos) — perfect for friends who love design details.
Transfer toward Graça (tram/short drive)
A scenic transfer up toward Graça — hillier streets with smaller murals and viewpoints. The guide chooses the quickest option for the group.
Tips from local experts:
- If you want a classic Lisbon experience, request a short tram ride — it’s photo-friendly but can be slower than a private transfer.
- Hold onto bags when boarding public transport — spring weekends can bring busy commuters.
- Tell the guide if anyone has mobility concerns; there are options to reduce uphill walking.
Stop in Graça — murals & local alleys
Short walk among Graça’s lanes to find small-scale murals, stencil work and community art projects popular with local creatives.
Tips from local experts:
- Graça has charming side-streets — great for spontaneous group shots with colorful doors and tiled facades.
- Look for a tiny bakery (pastéis) near the miradouros — perfect to grab a pastry for sharing between shots.
- If the group wants a quick bathroom stop, the guide will point to a nearby café with group-friendly seating.
Miradouro das Portas do Sol — panoramic viewpoint & murals
Visit this classic alfresco viewpoint for sweeping views over Alfama and the river — excellent golden-hour notes for later and immediate photo ops.
Tips from local experts:
- Position the group so the sunlight hits faces evenly — the guide will time quick shots to avoid harsh shadows.
- There are local vendors selling small keepsakes; carry coins if you want to buy inexpensive art prints.
- Stay aware of camera equipment on the viewpoint’s edge; it’s scenic but can be busy with passersby even in spring mornings.
Quick stop near Santa Apolónia station — rail-side art
Short visit to view murals and railway-adjacent street art near Santa Apolónia and soak up the urban contrasts by the tracks.
Tips from local experts:
- Railside murals often change — ask the guide for the latest artist stories to get behind-the-scenes context.
- If your group likes gritty urban photos, the underpasses and metal textures make great backdrops.
- Mind the train schedules and stay within safe areas; the guide will keep you on permitted walkways.
Transfer to LX Factory (driver or tram across the river)
Move across toward Alcântara where the creative hub LX Factory awaits — short transfer with views of the Tagus River.
Tips from local experts:
- If the group wants river views, request the route that crosses over the 25 de Abril bridge sightline for quick photos.
- Traffic varies; in spring mid-mornings traffic is moderate — the guide times the transfer to avoid rush periods.
- Keep a group head count on boarding — LX Factory is a popular hangout and easy to get separated in crowds.
Small tour inside LX Factory — murals, galleries & creative shops
Guided exploration of LX Factory’s alleys, murals and independent shops — ideal for group browsing, street photography and picking up design-led souvenirs.
Tips from local experts:
- Best group shot: the large mural under the old factory gantry — the guide will set you up for a wide-angle photo.
- Pop into the independent print & zine shops for limited-run art prints — great group gifts and often priced per piece.
- If your group wants to extend with drinks, LX Factory has several friend-friendly bars and eateries; the guide will point out good options for larger tables.
