What to expect
Terminal de passageiros de Santa Apolonia
Sidewalk of Santa Apolónia Pichi&Avo Statue - Pichi&Avo are the Spanish duo that likes to put everything together in the same pot: the classic art and the rebelliousness of graffiti. And that's exactly what they did in the most recent mural in Lisbon, on Calçada de Santa Apolónia. They added a lot of color to the recipe and the result was what you can see here – a large sculptural figure superimposed on infinite tags on the side of the building. Pichi&Avo's line is known for its coarse brushstrokes, which are met with a more careful drawing. The mural was made within the scope of the exhibition “Versus”, at the Underdogs Gallery.
Feira da Ladra
Santa Clara Field The old wall of Jardim Botto Machado (Campo de Santa Clara / Feira da Ladra) gives way to the colorful and fantastic world of the art of André Saraiva, who created a tile mural covering the 170 meters of the wall, in its 1000 m2 , with about 53,000 tiles.
Alfama
Vhils, whose real name is Alexandre Farto, is today one of the great names in urban art, and one of the first faces he carved in Lisbon is hidden in Travessa das Merceeiras.
Graca & Sao Vicente
In 2014, a group of artists decided to honor some figures in the history of national literature with connections to the Graça district. Thus, the face of Sophia de Mello Breyner, made by the artist Eime, can be found on Rua Josefa de Óbidos, and Natália Correia e Florbela Espanca are portrayed in Travessa do Monte, in a work by Mariana Dias Coutinho. Nearby are the viewpoints of Graça and Senhora do Monte.
Av. Fontes Pereira de Melo
Several international artists -- the Brazilians Os Gémeos, the Italians Blu and Eric Il Cane, and the Spanish Sam3 -- are responsible for this work in three vacant buildings on one of the busiest avenues in the city, Avenida Fontes Pereira de Melo. It is a work that was considered one of the 10 best in the world by the British newspaper The Guardian.
LX Factory
In the “creative factory” that is Lx Factory there are always more than a dozen works, by some of the most renowned names, such as Bordalo II with his huge bee made of garbage.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
