São Bento da Vitória Monastery Tickets + Fado Show

  • 14 reviews | 171 travellers
    The guide is a very good storyteller. He knows how to keep his audience engaged. The tour was in very understandable English despite my limited level (I'm French). The Fado singer and the two musicians were able to share their passion with their audience. I highly recommend it.

São Bento da Vitória Monastery

The São Bento da Vitória Monastery is a 17th-century monastic complex located next to the Portuguese Center of Photography, right in the heart of Porto's historic center.

On arrival, you'll be welcomed with a glass of Singeverga. Did you know this traditional liqueur is handmade by Benedictine monks? After this welcome drink, you'll begin your self-guided exploration of the monastery.

Along the way, you'll discover its main rooms, including the highlight of the visit: the church of São Bento da Vitória, home to an 18th-century organ and a spectacular golden Baroque altar.

After exploring the monastery, you'll visit the sacristy, where you'll enjoy an unforgettable performance of fado, Portugal's most traditional musical genre.

The concert lasts 1 hour, with a 10-minute intermission. During this break, you'll enjoy a glass of Port wine, a true symbol of northern Portugal.
