Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to present a variety of street art in Lisbon. Due to the activity of Galeria de Arte Urbana (GAU) the Portuguese capital has become an important and interesting place on the European map of street art. GAU promotes legal activities and tries to liven up the city space. GAU not only coordinates the creation of new works, but concentrates on education, documentation and publishing activity as well, aiming at popularising the idea of street art.
