Full description

Explore Lisbon's Alfama district, local cuisine, and the UNESCO-listed musical genre of Fado on this guided walking tour. Savor a traditional Portuguese dinner in the Alfama area, walk through the winding cobblestone streets of Mouraria, then head to a Fado house to attend a concert.

Start your Fado tour of Lisbon with a typical dinner in the Alfama district. Find out about the local habits and cuisine in the city's oldest district, where fado was born in the early 19th century. Then, wander down the alleys of the old part of town on a walking tour through Mouraria and Alfama (1 hour approximately).

End at a traditional Fado house and listen to the mournful melodies of Fado, a quintessentially Portuguese genre produced by a Portuguese guitar and characterized by heartfelt lyrics.

Lose yourself in the atmosphere and mood of the music. Fado was inscribed by UNESCO on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in November 2011.

It was very good, I wish it had started a little earlier so we could do more of a tour before, and get a bit more history, rather than just taking our time to get to the restaurant, but the guide was lovely and helpful, the restaurant was good, and the fado was lovely.

Miguel was very knowledgeable and passionate about fado, and told us all about its origins and different styles. He was also very considerate of our group's different fitness levels, as the walking tour includes some very steep gradients (it IS iLisbon!) The dinner was ok, but I've eaten better (and cheaper) at other traditional restaurants in the city. Overall it was a very pleasant evening, if a little overpriced.
