Any suggestions as to where to find consistently authentic Fado in Sintra or Lisbon
Hi, Rick Steve's book on Portugal lists a few places. "Fado in Chiado" is a 1 hour show in a small theater. It starts at 19:00 and tickets are around $25. It's probably a little sterile but as a solo traveler I decided to book a ticket to this show. It's not far from my hotel and there's no dinner included which is what I wanted.
Pateo de Alfama has fado and dinner if that's what you're looking for.
Lisbon, Alfama back streets. bars and restaurants offer singers. Walk the back streets in the evening and you’ll hear the music.
