What people say

"The Fado Museum is one of the places to visit in Lisbon. In addition to representing one of the most important cultural heritages of the region, it also has a restaurant and a themed store where you can spend time to take the spirit of nostalgia with you. Entirely dedicated to fado and the guitar, it allows you to visit the permanent exhibition and temporary exhibitions, as well as having a documentation center and an auditorium with regular events and a very interesting program. With works by the greatest Portuguese artists illustrating the melody that made Portugal known to the world; the artistic quality of the museum will leave you impressed. The restaurant serves typically Portuguese cuisine and helps to give a traditional tone to your visit. But technology allows us to go deeper into history, through interactive consultation stations that document the History of Fado throughout the Museum's entire route; and the audio guides, which let you hear dozens of fados composed and sung over the decades. Time flies and so do you, in a rehabilitated space of public interest, very close to the neighborhoods where you can go at night to hear fado singing."

Mentioned in these guides

You know the exercise of planning what to visit in a city by searching online "what to do in XXXX" and opening 10 tabs in an attempt not to let anything escape? And then not fully understanding what were the most relevant things for your kind of traveller? Well, I've been there multiple times!!! That's why I though that, as a local in Lisboa who has explored everything this city has to offer, I can make things easy for someone planning to visit it by creating a single source of information with all that. 86 places split into categories to make navigation and priorization easy: 1. Lisboa-exclusive places you must go to (3 tiers according to relevance) 2. Places around Lisboa you should visit (includes Sintra, Almada and Mafra) 3. Hidden gems (again 3 tiers according to relevance) 4. Old trams / Elevators / Funiculairs (you can be a fan and go around all of them or simply pick the best ones, which I refer) 5. Viewpoints (again, either go to all of them or just my top picks) 6. Things you can do around the world and here are nice as well On top of that you've got the ultimate Portuguese food checklist with 45 things you shoult try and whithout which your trip will be incomplete (90% of them can be found in Lisboa) My main objective with this guide is not to go into detail about each of these attractions but rather to categorize and give some hints about it so you decide whether to put it on your plan or not. If it is a monument or museum requiring a deep explanation of the hitory around it, you'll find it there. In case you have any question while planning your trip, we can also make a quick call for free ;) I wish you enjoy this city as much as I do and please do send me a message with feedback on this guide, as I use that to improve on it.
