WHAT TO EXPECT

A useful first read before you plan the day.

Caixa Alfama works like a neighbourhood trail through fado. The value is in seeing different voices and spaces, but capacity and steep streets mean you need a realistic route rather than trying to see everything on the bill.

HIGHLIGHTS

Why people go.

  • 01Established and emerging fado voices
  • 02Multiple atmospheric venues
  • 03A walkable programme through Alfama
