Downtown Porto traditional fado at Ideal Clube de Fado. Classic improvisation, a glass of Port, and a quiet 1-hour concert.

A 1-hour Fado concert in Porto’s 19th-century manor houses, with great acoustics, fado context, and a complimentary glass of port.
“It was a beautiful night! The musicians are so expressive and really show that they love Fado music! The lead singer explained more about fado and also about the meaning of behind each song and the musicians shared a bit about their instruments. The location is also extremely beautiful ❤️ 10/10 would recommend”
