Best Fado in Lisbon

The best fado in Lisbon is usually performed at bars in the city’s Alfama district. This was the birthplace of fado and remains its most vital source of music and emotion.

The best fado in Lisbon can be found at small taverns in the Alfama. The first of these is A Baiuca, a hole-in-the-wall bar where Lisbon locals take turns wowing audiences with their emotive singing.

Another is the popular Clube de Fado. It is equally known for its top-notch fado and its traditional decor, making the audience feel as if it has been transported back into 19th century Lisbon when fado began.

Another of the best places for fado in Lisbon is Noobai Cafe, which is located in Lisbon’s Santa Catarina neighborhod.

A far cry from the traditional atmosphere of A Baiuca and Clube de Fado, Noobai Cafe is a brightly-colored space where traditional fado music blends into colonial rhythms from Portugal’s former African colonies.

Wherever you choose to watch the best fado in Lisbon, be prepared for an emotional journey sung through the city’s most soulful residents.
