If you’re planning a trip to Lisbon, this guide brings together some of the best places to explore, photograph, and enjoy during your time in the city.
Now based in Lisbon, I’ve explored the city extensively with my camera to create a guide based on personal experience rather than simply listing the places every tourist website recommends. Everything you’ll find here is somewhere I’ve genuinely visited, photographed or experienced myself.
Lisbon is a city that reveals itself slowly, and often the best experiences come from simply taking your time and exploring beyond the main landmarks. From quiet streets to open viewpoints, there’s a balance between well-known locations and places that feel a little more personal.
This Lisbon guide is designed to be simple and practical, whether you’re looking for places to photograph, somewhere to eat, or just ideas on how to spend your time in the city. It brings together a mix of locations across Lisbon and nearby areas, based on what I’ve found works best.
Whether you’re looking for the best places to photograph, somewhere memorable to eat, planning a proposal or searching for trusted local businesses, these guides are all based on places I’ve personally visited and photographed while living in Lisbon.

In addition to my work in Lisbon, I also run Manchester Photography, a well-established photography business in the UK.
Now based in Lisbon, I continue to work with clients in Manchester and London, returning for a few days each month for commercial photography projects.
