Small but well-curated museum, you can spend about 45mins to 1h in here. Free entry with the lisbon card. Clean toilets too. Recommended for anyone who wants to learn about the history of fado. We didn't manage to watch a fado performance in lisbon but glad we still got to enjoy some fado music here via the headsets
Handheld Audio Guided Tour included. A nice visit to learn & listen to Fado. Regardless $5 for admission is worth it for the Air Conditioning and Clean Bathrooms. Friendly Staff. Clean Establishment. Relaxing Atmosphere.
Ticket included audio guide. Sitting room with headphones to listen to full Fado songs from dozens of artists old and new. It was not crowded, so I listened for about an hour to songs. Museum is kind of small. But there is much to listen to. 20 minute, or so, movie documentary on large screen too. Old video footage of the musicians from the 40's through today. Fado is so moving and such an experience. Cheap ticket price. I think it was only 5€. Worth it!!!!
Lovely museum! First time I visited the Fado museum was 25 years ago when I was 19. During that time, there was a room that you time travel to a Fado bar in old times. Unfortunately, they removed that room. All other things are nice, full of Fado, Amalia Rodriguez and others 😍😍😍
I first visited Fado Museum because it was pouring rain outside but I'm greatly glad I stopped by. I learned so much abt Fado, its music, artisits and the culture, all was eye-opening
The ticket price is reasonable and the english translation is also easy to navigate.
If you are a fan of music, pls stop by

Museu do Fado, one of the great history from Lisbon fisher men with their wife. BC 1700 when the farmers went to the river to catch fish & their wife's are waiting for them, during this time they (wife's of fishermen) had benn singing a song called Fado music! According to this song this place named Fado & now Fado Museum. To entire museum under 25 years old people will have to pay 2.5 euro & from 25 years old people will have to pay 5 euro. Here i saw all the houses are very narrow, the guide told me still this houses as this so that people can feel how was their life style 🙏
Its near the ship terminal, so many tourism guide are in here with their TukTuk.
Thank you💝

Amazing museum located in the Alfama district, considered the birthplace of one of Portugal's most important cultural heritages.
Fado is uniquely portuguese and this museum does justice to the wonderful art form. Great exhibits that explain the history of Fado. Showcasing "fadistas", musicians, composers and artists of past and present.
The 5€ entrance fee includes an audio guide and full access to the museum including the temporary exhibit on the lower level.
Highly recommend if you want to know more about the art and history of Fado, before visiting one of the many Fado Houses in the district for dinner and a show.

I had such an amazing and complex experience at the Fado Museum!
The audio guide was really good and it helped me understand more about this beautiful music and listen to fado songs. The museum has a lot more to offer. There were videos and documentaries about fado, the artists, about the making of the Portuguese guitar and an
exhibition honoring the legacy of Portuguese fado singer Celeste Rodrigues.
I loved going to a restaurant and listening to live Fado music while I was in Lisbon so I had to visit the museum and I can easily say that it was my favourite thing to do in Lisbon.
I will return to Lisbon for Fado!
