To hear Fado is to know Lisbon

Lisbon is arguably one of the world's leading destinations, having scooped consecutive awards in recent years. It is a unique city, defined by its light, mild climate, history and culture. A city full of charm and character, Lisbon today reflects a modern development that still proudly and fondly preserves its secrets and traditions.

Celebrated by poets, writers and artists, this beautiful capital gave birth to the musical genre that encapsulates the soul of its people.

 Fado, which dwells in the houses, corners and alleys of the city, is an unforgettable experience and a must for all visitors.

Fado in its essence is Lisbon itself.

Fado, in its greatest expression, sings of love and the encounters and heartbreaks of life, having been recognised by UNESCO in 2011 as World Cultural Heritage.
