Lisbon has nowhere near the level of rampant graffiti that Athens has, but there is still some creative and impressive street art in the downtown area.

Here’s a small sampling from around Bairro Alto, Chiado, Rossio, the Alfama, and Belem:

Big Racoon Street Art in Belem Portugal
This isn’t graffiti, as such. It’s part of the Arte Periférica project. This 2015 work of street art on the side of a building in Belem is by Bordalo II and titled Guaxinao or Big Racoon.

I have more samples of Lisbon’s graffiti here. And I have a post on the incredible graffiti in Athens.
