Finding Fado in Lisbon

6 September 2024 Press Release Tourism News

The unique sound of Fado is part of Lisbon’s DNA, so embedded in society that it is included on UNESCO’s list of World Intangible Cultural Heritage. Born in the streets, houses and on the riverside of Lisbon, these poetic stories of love and fate are brought to life by the combination of guitar and emotional vocals. Here the team at Visit Lisbon pick out the neighbourhoods and attractions that can help visitors find their inner fadista and truly appreciate one of the city’s authentic gems.
