Lisbon Hidden Quarter and Fado

Soak up authentic music and sip a drink or two on a guided walk in Lisbon’s bohemian quarter.

Absorb the evening atmosphere as you stroll through the cobbled lanes of Bairro Alto, while your guide regales you with intriguing stories of the buzzing neighbourhood.

Fado is Portugal’s traditional genre – melancholic and dramatic singing by a fadista, accompanied by strident guitarists. Bairro Alto is home to some of the best Fado venues in Lisbon, so you’re in for a treat.

Enjoy some drinks in a local tavern as you feast your eyes and ears on a typical performance of this unique art. Allow yourself to be swept up in the moment as the age-old themes of love and loss resound across the room in timeless fashion.

At your next venue, enjoy a selection of tapas with wine before your guide bids you a good night. Now, you’re free to explore the district further and make your way back to the ship whenever you’re ready.
