I am a Chilean living in this beautiful city (Lisbon) for 6 years. A lover of history and geography, I started working as a tour guide 4 years ago. I decided to dedicate myself to what I love and created a tour that I am currently developing: Fado and the History of Lisbon. On this tour, you will learn not only about the history of this typical Portuguese music, but also about the history of the city and useful information for your stay while we explore beautiful places steeped in history.

Tour description

My name is Cristian Hernandez, I'm 49 years old, and I've lived in this beautiful city for 5 years. On this tour, we'll talk about fado, the music that inspires our journey, exploring its history and origins. We'll also delve into the history of this Portuguese city, and as we visit beautiful and historic places, I'll share some anecdotes and facts to make our pilgrimage even more entertaining… Let's begin!

List of places we will visit:

- Mouraria Entrance
- Maria Severa House
- Monument to the King of Fado
- History of tiles
- Mural of Valdio Fado
- City history from a beautiful viewpoint
- San Jorge Castle

At the end, we will be immersed in the beautiful culture that characterizes this town and its wonderful Lisbon. I will give you information to make your stay as pleasant as possible, including where to eat and listen to Fado, a music that has been an intangible cultural heritage of humanity since 2011.
