Casa da Guitarra
Listen to live fado inside the only shop in Porto that still hand-makes Portuguese guitars. This performance takes place at Casa da Guitarra, the only shop in the city that still crafts and displays handmade Portuguese stringed instruments, such as the Portuguese guitar. For an hour, listen to traditional fado performed live by local artists, with the Portuguese guitar played by the luthier and founder himself. The venue is small and acoustically intimate, designed to let you experience the emotion of fado up close. Enjoy the music with a glass of Port wine. More than just a concert, it’s a cultural immersion: you can explore the exhibition of traditional instruments and discover why fado has been recognised as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity since 2011. The venue is situated in the historic centre, just a stone’s throw from the Cathedral, with sessions in the early evening and at night. Seats are limited; book in advance to secure yours.

A nice taste of fado
Intimate stage/venu located by the Ponte Luis I-bridge. The show lasted for about an hour, with a short break when they served a shot of port wine. The to singers performed with almost a heartbreaking nerve. Great show!
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your review and for visiting Casa da Guitarra! Our fado singers are very grateful for your praise of their performance. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed our show and felt the spirit of fado in our company.

Gorgeous music
The guitarists - particularly the one who played Portuguese guitar- and the bass player were fantastic - a great rapport between them too! One of the fado singers was particularly good with a very rich voice and great presence. Thoroughly enjoyable evening.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your kind words! We were delighted to receive such praise for the quality of our musicians, as we work hard every day to provide the best Fado experience to our visitors. We’re glad you enjoyed your evening with us!

An Authentic Musical Experience
This was one of my favorite experiences in Portugal! The performances were so beautiful and I was happy the audience wasn’t all recording everything on their phones. It was nice to just experience the music.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your review! It means a lot to us to know our experience elevated your trip to Porto and that you were able to feel Fado. Hope to see you again!

Why this scores 79
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Porto: Fado show with Port wine at Casa da Guitarra: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Porto.
How much does Porto: Fado show with Port wine at Casa da Guitarra cost?
+
Prices start at $23 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Porto usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Porto: Fado show with Port wine at Casa da Guitarra take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour 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 Porto is not rushed.
Is Porto: Fado show with Port wine at Casa da Guitarra worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 491 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Porto, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Porto: Fado show with Port wine at Casa da Guitarra?
+
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 Porto: Fado show with Port wine at Casa da Guitarra suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Porto: Fado show with Port wine at Casa da Guitarra?
+
Around 172 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 Porto 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 Porto and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Porto: Fado show with Port wine at Casa da Guitarra 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 Porto 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 Porto?
+
On Outty we rank every Porto experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Unvanquished Tour in Porto City Center, Best of Porto Walking Tour Small Group Experience and Local Guide, Douro Valley Small Group Tour: 2 Wineries, Lunch & River Cruise. 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 Porto?
+
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 Porto?
+
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.
