About us
Some of the best moments in Lisbon happen when you slow down long enough to actually look at it.
This group is for people who want to experience the city differently, through a sketchbook.
We meet at hidden viewpoints, riverside spots, and quiet corners that most people never find. We sit. We look. We draw what's in front of us — bridges, rooftops, the river, the light. No experience needed. If you can hold a pen, you belong here.
Each session is guided by Lucas, a local illustrator who has lived in Lisbon for over six years. While we sketch, he shares the real stories behind what we're drawing. The history, the neighbourhood, the things that don't make it into the tourist brochures.
You'll leave with a sketch you made yourself and a version of Lisbon that most people fly home without ever seeing.
What to expect:
Sessions run 2 to 3 hours, kept small on purpose. Maximum 6 people. We meet at a landmark or transport point and walk together to the location. All you need to bring is a pen or pencil and any paper you have.
This group is for you if:
You're curious about Lisbon beyond the obvious. You want to slow down, do something different. You don't mind sitting quietly with strangers for a while.
