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.
