Mouraria Neighborhood Tour & Fado Experience in Lisbon, Lisbon

Discover Mouraria, one of the oldest and most traditional neighborhoods in Lisbon. This is where the world-famous fado music style, the national music of Portugal, has its origins. On a walking tour to explore Mouraria's small streets and alleyways, you will get to visit the taverns where locals gather every evening, tasting the typical snacks of cheeses, cured ham and "ginjinha" (sour cherry liqueur) as you do so.

Your tour will end at a small, intimate local restaurant and fado house. A lot of locals visit this venue, which is owned by a prominent fado singer, and there is no better place to experience the music. On UNESCO's list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity since 2011, fado and its history continue to be an important part of everyday life in Lisbon. The music style fuses traditional rural music with the song patterns of urban areas to create a truly unique and distinctive sound. As you taste many different traditional petiscos (small dishes) and wine, you will listen as two singers, accompanied by guitarists, perform some of the very best fado music together.
