Check out our suggestions to discover Lisbon like no other and get the best shots.


We take many photos every day, but this takes on a whole new importance when we are travelling, because every moment is unique. We want to capture every single detail, no matter how small. We aim to find the best angles and discover new things, ideally that nobody else has found before. And we want to take home memories for life, to share them with friends and family, and revisit them whenever we wish.

In addition to the unmissable tour through the city's historic monuments, there is no shortage of opportunities to capture unique perspectives and, in the process, discover Lisbon as few others do.See the beauty of the Tagus river from different angles, explore the artworks on the street walls, and register the city's bright colours, from the jacarandas to the Pink Street. 

With our insightful tips, we challenge you to discover the best spots to take photos in Lisbon. Explore these places and share everything with us on Instagram using the hashtag @hfhotels. Nice shots!
