3 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

Most photo walks stick to postcard viewpoints. This one follows a movie. Led by Jaki, a working photographer and co-founder of the Lisbon Street Photo Fest, this walk traces locations from Wim Wenders' 1994 film Lisbon Story through Baixa-Chiado and Alfama. You'll see what the camera framed in 1994 and what's there now, then shoot your own version of those same scenes. The group stays small so everyone gets real guidance, whatever camera you're using. By the end you'll have your own photographic take on a place that already has one on film.

What's Included

We'll stop along the way for a coffee at a local joint and I'm happy to buy you a coffee or water.

Meeting and pickup

Meeting point

Meeting location is the Statue of António Ribeiro. You can easily reach it by taking the upper Baixa-Chiado metro exit.

End point
This activity ends back at the meeting point.

What to expect

Let's wander through Wim Wenders' 1994 film Lisbon Story, starting in Baixa-Chiado and working our way into Alfama, hitting spots from the movie all along the route. This walk covers locations from the film while you shoot your own frames as we go.

We'll move through many of the same steep lanes and viewpoints the film's sound recordist wandered while chasing the perfect Lisbon audio. At each stop, your guide points out what the camera saw in 1994 versus what's there now, then gives you time to shoot or recreate your own scenes.

Bring your own camera or phone. We’ll keep a relaxed pace and allow as much time as possible for you to make your own version of Lisbon Story.
