Fado music is now UNESCO World Heritage

    Fado, which means fate or destiny, is a genre of music, with origins in XIX century, but probably before, in Lisbon, Portugal. It sings about love, passion, lost and saudade! In 2011 it became a part of UNESCO World Heritage List.

    There are many great Fado singers like Amália Rodrigues, Carlos do Carmo, Mariza, Carminho, Ana Moura, Camané, and so many other!

    You can hear Fado live in bars and restaurants is the Alfama, an old neighbourhood of Lisbon, every night. It’s totally different experience than listening it on record!

    From our hostel it’s a 5 minute walk to the first restaurant with Fado.
