Yes, experiencing the Lisbon arts and design scene is worth it. While it's easy to eat or shop your way through the city, you'll be doing yourself a serious disservice if you don't take the time to learn about its unique architecture and culture that continues to inspire artists, young and old. Whether you do a street art tour outside, or opt for an indoor tour of a landmark building like Jeronimos Monastery or Pena Palace, you'll get a more intimate look at Lisbon and the people who call it home.

Per one customer who booked the Mon Ami Maravilha - Lisbon Street Art Private Tuk-Tuk Tour, "Rafael was a thoughtful and knowledgeable guide who showed us parts of Lisbon we would have missed otherwise. The street art is a great way to see another side of this vibrant city. The tuk-tuk was fun. I highly recommend this for anyone."

Before booking tours and activities highlighting the Lisbon arts and design scene, consider whether you want to stay local and focus on art and museums within city limits or whether you’re up for a day trip to nearby castle country. If you’re keen on seeing Lisbon’s colorful street art, but you’re worried about hoofing it up the city’s hills, consider splurging for a private tuk-tuk tour that visits the same neighborhoods and includes commentary on the art.

To fully enjoy the Lisbon arts and design scene, come with an open mind—especially if you’ve never heard fado music or seen Manueline architecture before—and leave with a newfound appreciation. Wear comfortable walking shoes with good traction because the well-worn cobblestone streets are slick, and don’t hesitate to ask your guide if you have any questions. While Lisbon natives have a reputation for being more reserved than both other Europeans and their Brazilian counterparts, they’re very welcoming and proud of their city.

Even if you're short on time, you can find fun Lisbon activities to fit your schedule. Here are a few ways you can enjoy the Lisbon arts and design scene in an hour or less:

• Welcome Tour to Lisbon in Private Eco Tuk-Tuk
