Hot Shots: Top Lisbon Instagrammers
We’ve picked our three favourite Instagram accounts devoted to capturing and sharing the beautiful scenes that best represent the Portuguese capital of Lisbon.
As its name suggests, this feed, curated by local tour guide Diogo Costa, is all about highlighting Lisbon’s beautiful cityscapes. Costa thinks there’s a unique quality to the natural light in Lisbon that makes it look unlike any other city in the world – a trait exemplified by this enchanting sunset shot over the Santa Catarina area with the Estrela Basilica visible in the distance.
Rodrigo Antunes’s soft, muted shots of Lisbon capture the city’s timeless charm. This shot of Praça do Comércio is a fitting representation of the city’s ever-evolving relationship with newcomers. Set on the edge of the Tagus Estuary, this square has long been the gateway to the city for visitors arriving by boat. Today it still feels like the entrance to Lisbon, as a hub for ferry and tram transportation as well as a social centre for tourists and locals alike.
Fábio Figueiroa’s artistic feed captures the intriguing faces and places of his home, Lisbon, and beyond. From the cheerful trams to the facade of the Praça do Comércio building, yellow is a recurring motif throughout Lisbon. This vivid shot, taken by Figueiroa during a morning stroll in the Alcântara neighbourhood, is a nod to the city’s signature shade.
