Alfama Neighbourhood, Tram 28 & Fado Evening

Lisbon 4 hours Small group4.8(7,900 reviews)

Fado was born in the Alfama, the Moorish quarter of whitewashed houses, cobbled alleys, and laundry-strung streets on the hillside above the Tagus. A guided evening walk follows the tram 28 route through the Alfama's narrow streets to a traditional casa de fado for dinner: a petisco spread (Portuguese tapas) and two sets of live fado, the music of saudade (longing) that sounds unlike anything else on Earth.

  • Tram 28 through the Alfama hills
  • Live fado performance at dinner
  • Miradouro das Portas do Sol viewpoint
  • Sé Cathedral (12th century) visit

Loved every minute. The small group size made it feel personal and unhurried. Will definitely be back.

Cannot recommend this highly enough. Went solo and immediately felt part of a group. Perfect execution.
