Why Go and See a Show at Cais do Fado?

Located on the banks of the Duero River, with some beautiful views of Porto and the Don Luis I Bridge, the iconic Cais do Fado is one of the main concert venues in Vila Nova de Gaia.

At this iconic local spot, you'll enjoy 50 minutes of an unforgettable Fado show. Its melodies captivate those who listen and, in fact, this particular Portuguese music now falls under the title of Intangible Cultural Heritage.

During the concert, which also includes a glass of Porto wine, you'll enjoy the interpretation of many famous fado songs and renowned songs played on the traditional Portuguese guitar.

The melancholic and deep songs, blend perfectly with the unmistakeable strumming of the guitars, will send chills up your spine and make you feel the raw emotion of the fado from the very beginning.
