Lisbon Street Art Photos (From a Week in Lisboa)

I recently had the opportunity to visit Lisbon, Portugal, for six days to celebrate my birthday. It was an incredible trip (how could it not be?) filled with music, history, miles of walking, excellent espresso, sweets (pastel de nata, salame de chocolate, and gelato), and street art. 

Although I didn’t take nearly enough photos to fully capture the magic of the city’s architecture and art, I got some great shots of murals, stencils, and stickers around town. Please enjoy them!

(See any work without attribution? Please send me a note with details of who to add.)

I’ll be publishing a small book of photographs from the trip soon (for myself and a few friends as a keepsake), and will probably have a few extras for sale in my shop in the next couple months if anyone is interested. 

P.S. Lisboa, I miss you already. Até à próxima!

Bottom right: A massive mural by Brazilian artist Derlon Almeida (@derlon) on the outside of the former Espaço Brasil warehouse (where the historic Companhia de Fiação e Tecidos Lisbonense once was.)

They write on Instagram about this painting, "Tributo a Celeste Caeiro, que nos deixou ano passado e deu cara ao 25 de abril em Portugal!"
