Everything you should know before you book
Porto's evenings belong to fado — the melancholic Portuguese song of saudade — performed nightly in intimate concert houses across the Baixa and Ribeira. Add a riverside dinner, a Douro boat party, or the Spiritus light show in the Clérigos church and the city after dark is every bit as good as its daytime.
Fado is the signature Porto night. Book the earlier concert for the better seats, and pair it with dinner on the Ribeira quay as the Gaia lodges light up across the water. A night tour with dinner and fado bundles the whole evening, while the DJ boat party is the livelier alternative for groups.

What time does fado start in Porto?
Most fado concerts run in the evening, from around 7–9pm. Dinner-and-fado evenings begin earlier to fit the meal before the show.
Is the fado show worth it at night?
