Photo quests in Lisbon

What the catalogue actually holds here, and which of it is worth rearranging a day around.

Lisbon holds twelve quests across six categories, led by Food with three — though only just, with two in Art behind it. The one category with nothing in Lisbon so far is Beach.

One is tier 1, the tier kept for what a visitor would not have found on their own: São Cristóvão Steps. It is also the only quest here whose check-in asks for PRO; the other eleven are open on any plan. Tier 3 covers nine of them, which is the label for what a visitor would expect a travel app to have anyway.

A food quest names the dish rather than the restaurant: the pin sits on the room that serves it, but what you are going for is the plate. Art covers the work and the building around it, so a mural on an ordinary street counts alongside the collection with a ticket desk. Every check-in works the same way: the geotag your camera wrote into the photo has to land within 200 m of the quest's own point.

By category

Each of these opens the whole category across every city, with the Lisbon quests among them.

Tier 1

The unexpected ones

The one quests in Lisbon the catalogue files as finds rather than fixtures — the half of a city a guidebook has no room for.

Questions

About quests in Lisbon

How many photo quests are there in Lisbon?
12, across six of the seven categories the catalogue uses. The deepest groups are Food (3), History (2) and Nature (2). Nothing in Beach here yet — a category appears in a city the moment a quest is published into it, so the gaps move. Among them: Belém Tower, Monsanto Forest and LX Factory.
What is there to do in Lisbon beyond the obvious?
One of the 12 quests in Lisbon is tier 1, which is the catalogue's own mark for a find rather than a landmark: the pipeline that writes it is told that tier 3 is "everything a visitor would expect a travel app to have", and that tiers 1 and 2 are "only the unexpected finds". Lisbon holds one at tier 1, two at tier 2 and nine at tier 3. The tier 1 quest here is São Cristóvão Steps, in Art.
Can you do all the Lisbon quests on one trip?
Yes, given a few days. Every one of the 12 falls within 6.3 km of the middle of the Lisbon list — walking and local transport, not day trips — so this is a list to plan a visit around rather than a reason to extend one.
Which Lisbon quests can you do for free?
11 of the 12 can be checked in on the free plan, and all 12 can be read and travelled to without paying anything — the catalogue is open signed out, on every plan. PRO covers the check-in on the hardest tier, which in Lisbon means one quest: São Cristóvão Steps.
How do I prove I visited a place in Lisbon?
Take the photo at the place and upload it. Your browser reads the location the camera wrote into that file and measures it against the quest's own coordinates; inside 200 m the check-in counts. The distance is measured to the point, not to the city: being in Lisbon is not what is checked, and a photo taken across town from Belém Tower fails exactly the way one taken at home does. A file with no location in it cannot be checked at all, and a photo that has been through a messaging app usually arrives that way — upload the original out of the camera roll rather than a copy someone sent back to you. The Food quests in Lisbon sit on the room where the dish is served rather than on the dish, so that address is what the 200 m is measured from.
