Overview

This Christmas Lights photo walk offers a unique opportunity to explore Lisbon’s historic neighborhoods during the most magical time of year. Beginning in Graça and Alfama, we capture the golden tones of sunset and blue hour over the city's rooftops before moving into the vibrant, illuminated streets of Baixa and Chiado.

Unlike typical group tours, this experience is led by a professional local photographer who provides personalized guidance on creative techniques including long exposures, reflections, motion blur, and artistic composition. Whether you're using a smartphone or a full-frame camera, you’ll receive practical tips to elevate your night photography.

What's included

  • Creative guidance tailored to your camera and skill level
  • Optional portrait photos taken during the experience
  • 3-hour photography walk with a local photographer
  • Flexibility to customize focus areas (e.g. portraits vs. urban scenes) on request
  • Hotel pickup and drop off
  • Food and drinks
  • Camera equipment (tripods recommended but not provided)

What to expect

Meet your photographer at the Chapel of Senhora do Monte and set off on a 3-hour photo walk through Lisbon’s beautifully decorated streets, glowing with festive Christmas lights. As we explore areas like Alfama, Baixa, and Chiado, you'll learn how to capture the seasonal magic with creativity and confidence.

Whether you use a smartphone or a digital or film camera, this experience is designed for all skill levels. You’ll get personalized tips on how to improve your shots, from framing and composition to using available light. If you're curious about manual settings or long exposures, your guide will support you step by step—no technical experience required.

Along the way, you can choose to have a few portraits taken as part of your walk.
