Portugal
Portugal allows selling images of public buildings and art, subject to crediting the creator and the Berne three-step test.
Guidance, not legal advice
Permit
Conditional
Issuer: Local authority or monument manager for commercial shoots; no permit for personal street photography
Cost: No permit for personal photography; commercial productions and managed heritage sites need authorization
Street photography in public needs no permit. Commercial crews and shoots at managed monuments require authorization or a fee.
Drone / airspace
Governed by EASA rules via ANAC; register as an operator under the Open or Specific category
For category detail, see Drone Authority.
Street / public space
Yes to photograph, but publishing a recognizable person generally needs consent under the Civil Code right to image (Art. 79)
Exceptions cover public figures, public events, and people incidental to a scene.
Freedom of panorama
Full, with limits
Article 75(2)(q) of the Copyright Code permits photographing and publishing works permanently in public places, including commercial use, but uses are bound by the Berne three-step test and you should credit the author. Treat single-artwork merchandise more cautiously than cityscapes.
Practical notes
- Selling a photo of a Lisbon facade or public sculpture is generally fine; credit the artist or architect where possible.
- A product sold at scale whose sole subject is one copyrighted artwork is the case where the three-step test could be invoked.
