Fado clubs in Lisbon

Mónica Boixeda Lisboeta, Only-Be

Little guide to listen fado in Lisbon If there´s something genuine and unique in Lisbon (that you can´t eat) that would be fado. Defined by some as the representation of the Portuguese soul, this type of song was named as an Intangible World Heritage by UNESCO in 2011. Be careful because fado will drag you into the deepest part of your melancholy, taking you to the most unsettling corner of your soul through the humble events of everyday life sung with superlative feelings. There is no question about it, if you go to Lisbon you have to go and see fados sung live, whether it´s as the main act or an accompanying one while you have dinner or a drink in a bar. Here is our selection of fado club in Lisbon. You have to take into account that the restaurants that have fado shows are more expensive, either because it´s an extra for the show or because at the end of the meal, which is usually when the show begins, you have to add the drinks. Fado in Chiado If your idea is not to have dinner but to attend a fado concert, Fado in Chiado organizes them daily (except Sundays) at the cinema-theatre Gymnásio, Espaço Chiado (R. Misericórdia, 14, 2º Andar, 1249-038 Lisbon) at 7pm. It lasts 55 minutes and the ticket is 15€. You can buy your ticket here: http://www.fadoinchiado.com/ Clube de fado (R. S. João da Praça, 94 – 1100-521 Lisbon) At Clube de Fado you´ll find fado enthusiasts, an authentic place where as well as serving excellent Portuguese cuisine they also sing what is perhaps the best fados in Lisbon.... read more
