I was especially attracted to Collins’ work. They look like pieces of earth’s memories, some reminding me of rock formations, while others made me think of the desert at dawn. The more you look, the more colors you see, and the more textures appear. It makes you want to touch them all.
“Nothing to see beyond this line”
Not necessarily. It is always a good idea to check the opening hours. Galleries have different schedules and some close during lunch hours.
Estrela, Campo de Ourique, Chiado, Algés, Beato, Marvila, Alvalade, Campo Grande, are some fun neighborhoods with great galleries.
You can walk around in each neighborhood- but get a taxi or an Uber to the different neighborhoods because they are far from each other.
I go alone to these galleries. You can walk around everywhere but the neighborhoods are from from each other.
Always be very attentive with your belongings. Pickpocketing is a thing here, unfortunately.
Some neighborhoods are safer than others because there are more people on the streets.
Marvila and Beato: Walk around to the galleries nearby but get an Uber if you want to go to a restaurant in Marvila because they are not near the galleries.
Campo Grande: Get an Uber to go back and forth.
Chiado: There are lots of people around.
Estrela: There are usually people around.
