Street art · PORTUGAL MURAL TOURS
Lisbon gives crews entire facades and Porto keeps its pieces up the hills. These 15 tours are compared on price, climb and whether a tuk-tuk saves your legs.
Walk through Bairro Alto, Chiado, Baixa, Mouraria, and Graça with an English-speaking guide such as Erica, Maria, or Laith. Over three hours, you’ll see major murals, small overlooked pieces, street sculptures, and art tied to Lisbon’s social and political story. Expect hills, uneven ground, and plenty of city walking.
“Our guide, Erica, was amazing. She was a great story teller.”
Join an English-speaking guide such as Igor or Cátia for a 90-minute walk through Graça, where major murals, fresh paste-ups, and works by Vhils, Obey Giant, Add Fuel, Isa Silva, and others reveal Lisbon’s street art culture. Expect hills, stairs, local stories, and a small art souvenir.
“Excellent!! Igor was an extremely knowledgeable and interesting guide. Gave us historical and social context while sharing the artistic elements. Thank you!!!”
Ride through Lisbon with a private guide such as Tiago, Mario, Frederico, or Raquel, visiting Marvila’s large murals and lesser-seen neighborhoods. You’ll see work by Portuguese and international artists, old convents, palaces, factory homes, art deco warehouses, and urban gardens. The tuk-tuk covers ground that is awkward to reach on foot.
“Tiago was AMAZING! Fun, knowledgeable and entirely fluent in English. We made a great friend and he had wonderful recommendations for us. The street art was insane!”
Walk Lisbon’s Mouraria, Graça, and São Vicente with an artist guide such as Diego, Vero, or Luisa. Expect murals, fado photography, political art, steep hills, stairs, and the huge azulejo wall at Jardim Botto Machado. Groups are limited to 10, and the tour is offered in English.
“This was an amazing tour. Both guides were so knowledgeable with all of the art and artists around the two neighborhoods of Lisbon. We did take a few sets of stairs, so if you’re unable to do stairs, I would skip it. Also, make sure to eat a snack or breakfast beforehand since it does take the full time. I traveled solo but a lot of people were a couples or families. They made sure to talk and converse with everyone.”
Walk from Bairro Alto through Baixa, Graça, and Alfama with guides such as Erica, Maria, and Laith, learning how Lisbon’s murals, graffiti, tiles, and social history connect. Expect hills, cobbles, viewpoints, a mid-tour rest, and a maximum of 12 people, with art fans and photographers especially well served.
“This was a great walking tour and the graffiti we saw was fabulous. Leith, our guide, was so interesting, engaging, gave great insights into what we viewed and was fun. I learned to be more aware and to look more closely. You never know what artistic gems you may find. I would highly recommend the tour and Leith to others. Time very well spent.”
Spend three hours walking Porto with an English-speaking art guide, often Luigi or Andre, to see work by Vhils, Hazul, Costah, Lara Luís, and others. The small group visits major murals, lesser-known pieces, and a secret stop while explaining Porto’s street art scene, its artists, and its uneasy relationship with City Hall.
“Our tour guide Luigi’s enthusiasm was infectious! We went on this tour the last day of our holiday so had seen a few pieces already but was so good to get the context and put a name and context to the amazing artists! Wished we went earlier as saw a load of great places we’d love to revisit (including the cafe we had our break at!) Has given me a new perspective on the art I see at home - thank you all - just remember to pay for those biscuits! 😂”
Spend about three hours walking from Praça Martim Moniz through Lisbon’s street-art districts, with a local English-speaking guide explaining murals, artists, Portuguese street-art laws, and city-backed projects. The route covers Mouraria and Graça, with Bairro Alto also noted among the neighborhoods connected to the experience. Expect hills, steady walking, and no lunch included.

“David is a very informative guide and a pleasure to spend time together. Even with rain it was a good way to see neighborhoods&color added by street art to old abandoned areas. It was a total surprise to recognize the famous local Portuguese “trash”, street artist Bordalo ll, who just finished a piece on the boardwalk Asbury Park, NJ”

“Our guide Diana was absolutely fantastic!!! Her enthusiasm and knowledge about the artists and types of art we encountered was most appreciated. Well worth the walk!! She also did a tremendous job with people who wanted to join along the way. Handled it very professionally. Small note of eedback would be to let the group know at the beginning that the tour does not end up at the start point.”

“Ben hat uns tolle streetart gezeigt und konnte unheimlich viel zu den einzelnen Bildern und KünstlerInnen erzählen. Er ist selbst Künstler was dem Ganzen noch mehr Gewicht gegeben hat. Hat Mega Spaß gemacht. Absolute Empfehlung”
Spend three hours exploring Lisbon’s graffiti and street art by air-conditioned minivan with a local guide such as Pedro or Miguel. You’ll reach works scattered across avenues, alleys, stairways, and less walkable corners while learning how artists and styles developed. Private tours run in English, Portuguese, or German, with hotel pickup, Wi-Fi, and water included.
“Simply put: Awesome. I (unexpectedly) ended up getting a private street art tour with Pedro and it was really great! Pedro really understands what he’s talking about in terms of the street art scene/conveys it with a lot of enthusiasm and shows a variety of street art styles throughout the city. He’s also able to tell a lot about the city in general, so if it’s your first time in Lisbon and you like this type of art: don’t skip the tour!”
