Fado music is the folk music of Portugal. The word fado literally means fate and that is a good description of the essence of Fado music. Fado can be heard at any number of Fado houses in Lisbon and other parts of the country but only at the Fado museum will you be able to understand the history and passion behind this soulful form of musical expression. There is a restaurant on-site and you may be able to catch a performance if your timing is right. The museum is located at the base of the Alfama district and is quite walkable from downtown Lisbon. The museum is open from 10 AM (1000) to 6 PM (1800). It is closed on Monday’s.
