    Amazing performance!

    Absolutely amazing show. The explanation of Fado, the instrument and the stories gave such wonderful history and information. All artists were fantastic. Really enjoyed the entire experience, having a glass of wine was a nice touch. Highly recommend!

    George_W · October 2026

    Great music and great musicians you don’t want to miss!

    Fado, the traditional song and music with mournful tunes and lyrics, with a sense of resignation, fate and melancholy. A must-have experience when visiting Portugal. The ambience, the lighting, the atmosphere are all incredible and memorable. We loved and enjoyed every minute of it. It is well worth it. The location is right in the heart of the Baxia. Very easy to walk to, along the way watching or catching the famous Tram 28.

    Lisbon: Fado Show With Wine and History: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lisbon.

    How much does Lisbon: Fado Show With Wine and History cost?

    +

    Prices start at $22 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lisbon usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Lisbon: Fado Show With Wine and History take?

    +

    Plan for about 0.8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lisbon is not rushed.

    Is Lisbon: Fado Show With Wine and History worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 151 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lisbon, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Lisbon: Fado Show With Wine and History?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Lisbon: Fado Show With Wine and History suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Lisbon: Fado Show With Wine and History?

    +

    Around 53 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lisbon can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lisbon and add a light layer if any part of the 0.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Lisbon: Fado Show With Wine and History start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lisbon within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Lisbon?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Lisbon experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Lisbon City Center Tour - The Unmissable Lisbon, Sintra Private Trip from Lisbon Customizable Dreamlike Experience, Escape Hunt Experience. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Lisbon?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Lisbon?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Lisbon: Fado Show With Wine and History?

    +

    Included: A glass of Port Wine or a drink of your choice. Not included: Private transportation. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    What languages is Lisbon: Fado Show With Wine and History offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Lisbon: Fado Show With Wine and History?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
