Lisbon is renowned for the amazing street art to be found at every corner of the city. Anyone that has ever visited Lisbon knows that the city is spread in two
parts, and old classical one and a modern one.

The old tow of Lisbon hides a beauty never met in any other European city, with romantic little streets and the world famous tram riding up and down the hills. It’s no secret that Lisbon has won many people’s heart for it’s beauty but also development, as this year in November Lisbon hosted the yearly Websummit, world’s largest technology event, which plans to keep the venue for a long time.

As about street art, Lisbon is at the center of the fashionable art type, with old buildings all covered up in a painted crocodile, unlivable houses with painted windows instead of real ones, underground tunnels and metro stations all beautifully painted in colors by the artists trying to make a difference or a statement.
