Fado is one of Portugal’s most emblematic musical styles. On this self-guided audio tour around the medieval perimeter of Coimbra you’ll discover that, for many people, the city’s music, rituals, and intangible heritage are even more important than its monuments and iconic buildings. The tour begins at Largo da Portagem, a square in downtown Coimbra. From there, you’ll explore the most iconic sights within the historical area, while you listen to the sweet sounds of Fado music. You'll learn more about this musical genre and the differences between Coimbra and Lisbon’s variations. Admire part of the original city walls at Torre de Anto, take in the oldest café in town, Café Santa Cruz, and visit Diligência Bar with its spectacular carved Ançã stone. Stand outside the impressive Old Cathedral and learn the difference between Street Serenades and Monumental Serenades before ending in a UNESCO-protected street at Museum of Music of Coimbra, where you can see a live show.

I trained as an actor at London's prestigious Arts Educational School where I learnt about the voice and the art of telling stories. I went on to work in theatre, television and film for 10 years eventually running my own theatre company for 20 years. As a company we tried to make the work as imaginative and unique as possible, in one show we walked across the UK with no money, food or accommodation to see if humanity was kind. In another play we emigrated to Poland and used the experience for an award winning UK tour about immigration. I turned shops into theatre spaces, I performed in barns, houses, fields and many of the UK's best theatres.
