Lisbon Photo Tour
Group Tours
Lisbon - A maritime
Crossroad
Discover the beautiful city of Lisbon and it’s unparalleled
light. On your journey you will not only have the opportunity to
watch and photograph some of the most charismatic city’s monuments,
but also to explore picturesque neighbourhoods usually not visited
by tourists.
Lisbon's first settlements date back from the Neolithic,
and the town was later occupied by Phoenician, Roman and Moorish
people who left monuments and traditions. The city was conquered
from the moors by the first king of Portugal in 1147. In the XVIII
century Lisbon was the capital of an Empire stretching from Africa
to India; in 1755 downtown was destroyed by a huge earthquake and
tsunami, and was later rebuilt by the Regent, Marquês de Pombal,
according to a revolutionary urbanism plan that endures in modern
Lisbon.
In this experience you will feel and capture this colourful blend of
antique and modern, of Orient and Occident, of North and South of
Mediterranean and Atlantic. Today, Lisbon is a modern capital and
one of the most cosmopolitan in the whole world. There are large
Asian, Easterner European, African and Latin American communities
living peacefully together. This is what gives Lisbon such a special
and unique atmosphere.
Your guide will be available to explain all technical aspects of
photography, but he will focus on giving hints to help you express
your own personal interpretation of the place. Our route will guide
you from the sophisticated Chiado trough the monumental Praça do
Comercio where the city meets his ancient companion the Tagus River.
Then we will follow to Alfama, an old moorish neighbourhood with a
medina like structure were the “fado” (traditional Portuguese folk
song) seeps from the windows. Finally we will gain the castle hill
and enjoy the nicer views over Lisbon.
