Firstly ( when you are going up or down the Chiado area ), pay attention to the voice, coming from an old van selling Fado CDs. You will be thrilled by THAT voice - THE voice.

If you like Fado, can't avoid visiting the Diva home... you are always waiting that she enters from the front door! More

Take a walk down to this casa museu and learn about the legendary singer and her life, Amalia ROdrigues , lovingly known as Amaila. One of the tour guides is actually a woman who toured with AMalia which really made it feel very familiar and familial. Enjoyed the tour and learned a lot about the singer and the style of... More
