What guided this image
- Landmarks
- Castelo de São Jorge; Lisbon Cathedral; National Pantheon; Alfama and Mouraria; Remodelado; Tagus River; Pombaline; Manueline
- Viewpoint
- Favor an elevated viewpoint from one of Lisbon's iconic miradouros (such as Miradouro de Santa Luzia or Miradouro da Senhora do Monte), looking south or southwest across the red rooftops of Alfama toward the Tagus River, with São Jorge Castle or the Pantheon dome anchoring the view.
- Palette
- Green should be the predominant color, especially in the umbrella pines around São Jorge Castle, miradouro gardens, jacaranda trees, and courtyard vines.
- Guarded against
- Avoid making Lisbon look like Porto (no Dom Luís I double-deck bridge or Douro gorge), Madrid, or an Italian village.
