Museu do Fado
A journey through Lisbon's song, from taverns to great voices.
A good starting point before a fado night in Alfama: context, instruments and recordings to listen to at leisure.
It is in the Alfama neighbourhood. If you have time, Miradouro de Santo Estêvão is 2 minutes on foot. The Lisbon in 5 days plan stops here. On a rainy day, swap for Sé de Lisboa, the closest indoor option. It pairs well with the Tomar and Almourol Castle trip. The nearest metro station is Santa Apolónia, about 570 m away; see how to use the metro.
