Lisbon Fado Dinner Show and Night Tour
At 7:30 pm, you'll be picked up from your hotel and you'll set off to discover the main squares and avenues of Lisbon from Praça do Marques de Pombal and admire the beautifully lit buildings and monuments. The bus will drive past the Avenida da Liberdade, Rossio Square and Praça do Comércio, among many other iconic areas in Lisbon.
Next, the bus will head to Belém, one of the most charming neighbourhoods in Lisbon. It houses the city’s main tourist attractions and monuments, most dating back to the Age of Discovery. Some of the best examples are the Belém Tower, Pradão dos Descobrimentos, the Jerónimos Monastery, the breath-taking 25 de Abril suspension bridge, and last but not least, the famous Cristo Rei.
After admiring the city’s gracefully lit landmarks, you’ll head to a typical restaurant to try some of the city’s most famous dishes while you enjoy an unforgettable live fado performance, the musical expression of Portuguese spirit.
After the dinner and fado performance, you'll go to the Nossa Senhora do Monte viewpoint, where you'll enjoy the best panoramic view of the city. On the way there, we'll pass by the Cathedral, which, when lit up, is even more beautiful than it is in the day. Finally, you'll be dropped back at your hotel at around 11:30 pm.
