Fado Shows & Nights in Lisbon

6 tours · €14–€119 per person · ★ 4.7

Fado is Lisbon's soundtrack, the melancholy songbook born in the lanes of Alfama and Mouraria, and hearing it live in a small room is worth an evening of anyone's trip. A booked fado night saves you guessing which venue is the real thing and which is dinner theatre.

When you compare fado shows in Lisbon, decide how much evening you want around the music. A walking tour that ends in a fado house pairs the neighbourhood's backstory with the performance; a dinner show settles you in with Portuguese food and wine while the singers work the room. Either way the room stays small, the lights go low, and phones go away for the best sets.

6 fado experiences in Lisbon from €14. Evening shows with dinner or drinks, small-group and intimate venues, free cancellation on most - easy to book online.
