I am a sociologist with a passion for music and cycling. I love to share Lisbon' stories and history, through the streets where you can find the architecture, cultural traditions and heritage that defines this city. I have spent over a decade introducing travelers to Portugal's storied capital: I've worked as Hostel Manager for many years and I am providing Tours since 2008 (walking, cycling and with vans). In addition my expertise on the city's built-landscape and social geography, I have many years of experience cycling in the city and knowledgeable about the best routes and hidden gems. I love to do custom tours so feel free to ask for any kind of subjects, themes, places or neighborhoods that would be interesting for you and are not listed. The Tours are available in: Portuguese, Spanish, French, English and Italian.

Lisbon's oldest neighborhoods are very different day and night. . . And there is a particular kind of Live Music bars/restaurants, within the old town limits, where you can listen and feel the Fado Music! At night, old Fados are played and new Fados are born in these old streets of Lisbon. A tradition that it's still alive and it's not just a reproduction of old songs. Fado, the Portuguese most traditional music genre, its World's Intangible Cultural Heritage according to UNESCO and still very important on the daily routines of Lisbon. Mouraria and Alfama, made of small streets, alleys and staircases, offer a very different nightlife. We will get to know some of these traditional places that reveal part of Lisbon's identity and cultural heritage through this unique music style. In June this tour might not be available in some dates due to the Santo António festivities.
We will start walking through Mouraria neighborhood. We will walk through Rua do Capelão, Largo da Severa and we will see - from the small streets - the houses where important Fado references lived. Fado is in the air. . . Now time to walk up the hill and then we will get to Alfama. We will stop at Portas do Sol viewpoint to see the neighborhood from above and the Tejo river. Walking down, we will have the chance to learn a lot about different moments of the History of the city. Keep in mind that we will have stairs in our way through some of the oldest and narrow streets of the city. After we get into the Fado Restaurant-Bar it's time to seat down, order food, wine and. . . enjoy the live music! Aditional Notes: - Walking though the old streets and uneven pavement requires comfortable shoes. - The booking confirmation for this tour depends on the Restaurant reservation. - About the Fado show: there are several breakes but it's a show with different singers through the night.
