Coimbra fado sessions every day in a café inside a former church, beside the Santa Cruz monastery. Free entry. 1 h

Coimbra fado is the students' fado: it is sung by men, in black capes, and listened to in silence. Café Santa Cruz, on Praça 8 de Maio, occupies a space in the former church of the Santa Cruz monastery, and schedules sessions every day at 18:00 and 22:00, except the 22:00 one on Sunday. Entry is free; order something at the bar and try the crúzio, the house sweet.
