Visiting Lisbon gives you the opportunity to get acquainted with the Fado music. Classified as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO since 2011, Fado is the purest expression of Lisboa's 'soul'. Much more than just a song, Fado is a musical manifestation of feeling Portuguese and a city's way of life, always accompanied by the solemn and melancholy chords of the Portuguese guitar. The internationalization of Fado nowadays, is greatly due to the charisma and the voice of Amália Rodrigues, the most renowned fado singer of all time, who from 1950's took Lisboa's song to the most prestigious venues, from Russia to Japan. More recently, a new generation of singers of his genre has given the song a new vitality, placing it in circuits of World Music. Scattered in and around the center of Lisbon, particularly in the Bairro Alto, you can find various Fado houses, restaurants or bars where you can experience live performance of Fado while enjoying your meal or drink. These restaurants are more expensive than the regularly ones, but most of them are worth visiting them. Some well known Fado houses in Lisbon, among many others, are: 'Maria da Mouraria', 'Tasca da Bela', and 'A Tasca do Chico'.

If you like the evening scene and casual moods, this a place for you. With endless typical restaurants (some of them with fado), bars, alternative and local shopping, and one of the best custard Portuguese tarts (Pastel de Nata) you can taste in Manteigaria (in Camões square).

I was born in this quarter. Still my favorite one. Nowadays, it's a must go to, to enjoy nightlife, modern and traditional restaurants, and so much more. Avoid the Fado places...usually a rip off! But, some exceptions. Such as, A Mascote da Atalaia. Nevertheless, always check TripAdvisor reviews.

The quarter has two faces: ordinary during the day and classy at night. There are many bars, restaurants, bookshops, discos and a superb panoramic view.
