Porto (Oporto) Attractions - Things to do
Casa da Musica
Opened in 2005, and designed by Rem Koolhaas, the exterior of the House of Music resembles a large white crystal. The venue holds concerts most evenings, ranging from classical and jazz, to fado and electronica. As well as the concert hall itself, the venue includes classrooms, practise halls, a VIP lounge, and a restaurant, which all wrap around the central concert hall in a variety of unusual shapes and angles.
Museu de Arte Contemporanea
This minimalist museum located to the west of Porto generally houses cutting edge temporary exhibitions, although there is also a permanent collection including works by Georg Baselitz, Ed Ruscha, and Gerhard Richter. The museum was designed by Alvaro Siza Vieira, and features vast whitewashed exhibition spaces, flooded with natural light.

Museu Nacional Soares dos Reis
While this museum of art exhibits some excellent pieces by Antonio Silva Porto, Henrique Pousao, and of course Antonio Soares dos Reis, the building itself is as interesting as the artwork. The neoclassical Palacio das Carrancas was requisitioned by Napoleonic invaders, and was evacuated so rapidly that a half eaten banquet was found abandoned on the dining table.
