An experience through the old town by night, with Dinner and Live Fado Music - World's Intangible Cultural Heritage
Lisbon's oldest neighborhoods are very different day and night. . . And there is a particular kind of Live Music bars/restaurants, within the old town limits, where you can listen and feel the Fado Music!
At night, old Fados are played and new Fados are born in these old streets of Lisbon. A tradition that it's still alive and it's not just a reproduction of old songs. Fado, the Portuguese most traditional music genre, its World's Intangible Cultural Heritage according to UNESCO and still very important on the daily routines of Lisbon.
Mouraria and Alfama, made of small streets, alleys and staircases, offer a very different nightlife. We will get to know some of these traditional places that reveal part of Lisbon's identity and cultural heritage through this unique music style.
In June this tour might not be available in some dates due to the Santo António festivities.

A Recent Review of this tour
Read More Reviews For This TourAdriano knew Alfama really well. From the origins to modern times, he had a wealth of information and stories ready. He was fascinated by Fado and he authentically passed this feeling on to us. Following the approximately 2-hour tour of Alfama, we stopped at a well-known Fado restaurant. Adriano had already reserved the seats. We were able to relax and listen to the fado singers singing while enjoying delicious food and drinks. Unfortunately, we didn't speak Portuguese, but Adriano translated the lyrics.
