★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 4,166 reviews · from $17Best value

At Lisboa em Fado in Baixa Pombalina, you’ll watch a 50-minute concert by award-winning Fado singers and musicians in a small, audience-focused hall. Hear Portuguese and classic guitars without microphones, learn about Fado through short English-language presentations with Portuguese subtitles, and sip Port wine or juice. Seats are first come, first served.

“I had a great time. It was a nice way to be introduced to the culture of Fado music without committing to a multi-hour long dinner and show. The music was beautiful, the performers were engaging, the venue was intimate, and I appreciated the videos that explained a little more for beginners. It seemed to keep the full flavor of the tradition for the Portuguese in the audience, but also give good explanation for us newcomers. Thanks!”
