Discovering Marvila: Lisbon’s Artistic Transformation

The journey continues eastward to Marvila, once known as Lisbon’s “Bronx”. Today, it’s a lively district, transformed by street artists from around the world. The murals here are large, vibrant, and often political or humorous—testament to the neighborhood’s shift from industrial to creative hub.

Travelers will love the visual feast of murals on old factory walls and the chance to capture colorful images against the backdrop of Lisbon’s skyline. The guide will point out works by notable artists such as Kobra and Obey, alongside local talents. One reviewer noted, “We saw street art almost continuously, and it was inspiring to see the city’s transformation.”

Artist Workshops and Hidden Gems

Another special feature is a stop by Bordalo II’s workshop, where you can get a peek at the creative process behind impressive sculptures made from recycled materials. This gives a rare glimpse into the artistic craftsmanship behind some of Lisbon’s most Instagram-worthy murals.

The Secret Garden and Utopia murals add a whimsical element, showing that street art isn’t just about the wall but about storytelling and community. The guides do a great job of explaining the stories behind these murals, adding context that elevates the visual experience.

Food, Drink, and Cultural Touches

Midway through the tour, you’ll pause at Santo, a stylish spot where art and enjoyment collide. The newly opened venue offers a drink break in a space that’s as much about design as it is about refreshment. This stop provides a relaxed environment for chatting about what you’ve seen so far, and you’ll appreciate the chance to sit down amid Lisbon’s growing art scene.

On weekends, the tour extends to other venues, such as the multi-floor art space in Beato, where murals blend with art deco architecture. This adds variety and a sense of discovery, making the experience feel well-rounded rather than just a quick mural hop.
