The best private photoshoot in Lisbon

The yellow tram climbing through Alfama and the river view from Miradouro das Portas do Sol are the shots people want, with the azulejo walls adding color everywhere. A local photographer knows when the steep lanes empty and how the late sun warms the pastel facades in the Alfama. They time the tram frame so it isn't packed. The light here comes off the river and the hills at once, and reading it is half the job.
