Step into Casa da Guitarra for an intimate Fado session in Vila Nova de Gaia. Hear two artists perform after a short introduction to the music, with a glass of port to savour mid-concert.
Full description
Casa da Guitarra stages short, intimate Fado concerts in which the music, not a dinner service, is the focus. Sessions typically open with a friendly welcome and a slide presentation explaining Fado and the Portuguese guitar, followed by two performers, with a glass of port served partway through.
The venue is small and fills up, so reviewers recommend reserving beforehand. At around an hour it fits easily into a daytime or early-evening itinerary and suits visitors who want Fado without committing to a long meal.

Perfect for us! Not too long, and not served with dinner like most places so you could truly focus on the music. The two artists were beautiful, and the port in the middle was a great pick me up!
