Highlights
  • Jardim Da Estrela Park - We will have a wine/coffee break in a coffee place in the gardens of Estrela Park.
  • 3+1 Arte Contemporanea - Gallery visit. 3+1 Arte Contemporânea, founded in Lisbon in February 2007, was created with the aim of promoting Portuguese and international artists, focusing on original proposals that emphasize the diversity that qualifies contemporary artistic practices. The gallery has distinguished itself by presenting international artists little known to the Portuguese public, along with emerging national talents of exceptional quality. 3+1 intends to continue broadening its horizons by investing in internationalization.
  • Jahn Und Jahn/lisboa - Gallery visit. In 2017, Fred Jahn and Matthias Jahn’s galleries merged to form Jahn und Jahn (Munich). In 2022, Jahn and Jahn founded a gallery in Lisbon, Portugal. Close collaboration with the artists as well as a thorough understanding of forms of artistic expression have been central to the identity of the galleries from the beginning. Significant here are also the numerous publications, published by the galleries themselves, which have accompanied exhibitions in both locations. Jahn und Jahn intends to continue in this vein.
  • Galeria Sao Mamede - Gallery visit. At the end of the 60s, Galeria de São Mamede opened its doors very close to Largo do Rato, on Rua da Escola Politécnica, in a Pombaline building, almost opposite the Attorney General’s Office and the Church of São Mamede.

It has always been dedicated exclusively to Portuguese modernism and the contemporary movement, with occasional exhibitions by foreign artists. There has been an intense and quality artistic activity, supported by “classic” artists who have always been linked to the Gallery (such as Areal, Cesariny, Cruzeiro Seixas or Nadir Afonso) but also, and above all, by new artists.

  • Galeria Foco - Gallery visit. Foco Gallery is a nucleus and context for artistic and interdisciplinary engagement. Founded by Benjamin Gonthier, Foco Gallery promotes International and Portuguese artists working across media. Generating exhibitions, performances, and discourses, Foco Gallery remains contemporary.

After five years of creation and presentation at Rua da Alegria in Lisbon, Foco Gallery is pleased to explore its new space in the city.
A renovated car dealership now houses the main gallery, in the Intendente neighborhood. The two floors connected by a car lift, and the massive window on the street give a new dimension to the gallery’s projects.

What's Included
  • Tea and coffee
  • Alcoholic Beverages
Additional Information

Get ready to meet gallery directors and managers, and engage in close conversations and discussions with people who are passionate about contemporary art. During the tour we will not only learn about the artists and dive into the processes of their work, but most importantly will take a moment to slow down and experience the art through a group discussion.

With exhibitions changing every five to six weeks, there is always something new to see. Your itinerary will include a range of galleries for an energizing mix of artwork in different media by nationally and internationally acclaimed artists.

Fantastic Art Walk in Lisbon with Wine - We had an unforgettable experience with the contemporary art gallery tour in Lisbon! We visited three amazing galleries, each offering a unique glimpse into the vibrant art scene. One of the highlights was seeing the work of Ai Weiwei, and we were pleasantly surprised to learn that he currently lives in Portugal. Our tour guide, Ausra, was absolutely fantastic. She was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging, making the tour both informative and enjoyable. To top it off, we stopped for a glass of wine in a beautiful local cafe, which added a perfect relaxing touch to our cultural adventure. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore Lisbon's contemporary art scene!

Amazing Art Tour! - This tour was an incredible experience. I booked it a few days before my friends, who are art enthusiasts, visited me in Lisbon. Ausra made the art feel so accessible and provided background information on the artists and their work that we wouldn't have gotten if we had visited the galleries on our own. She curates the tours to showcase the "best of the best." I can't recommend it strongly enough!
