Casa da Música
  • Casa da Música was only inaugurated in 2005 but
    it was deemed an instant classic. You will want
    to see this just after seeing a picture of it.
    This is a concert hall but it is the most unique
    and beautiful concert hall in the world. Instead
    of going for a traditional look or a simplistic
    modern look the architect Rem Koolhaas went with
    something completely new. The building
    immediately drew wide acclaim in the world of
    architecture and was deemed one of the most
    important architectural constructs in recent
    history. It is the type of building people will
    be coming to look at even centuries later. We
    would highly recommend putting it on your things
    to do list.

Church of Saint Ildefonso
5
  • The Church of Saint Ildefonso is very different
    looking from other churches. The color and the
    building materials are a bit similar to what you
    would usually see in big mosques. The rest of the
    design features do make it clear that this is a
    church. It has a beautiful façade with great tile
    work on it and the architectural style can best
    be defined as proto-baroque. There is a daily
    mass at the church if you are religiously
    inclined. This place is a must see because it is
    a beautiful site in a popular tourist area. Even
    if this isnt on your things to do list something
    near to it most definitely will be.

6
Igreja de Santa Clara
7
  • Igreja de Santa Clara is a beautiful church and
    an even better point to view the rest of the city
    from. When you look a the church from afar you
    will notice how its dome seems to rise above
    everything around it, and when you go to the
    church and have the option to get a vantage point
    of the city we would highly recommend you do not
    miss it. The view of Porto you get from this
    church is phenomenal, and we would recommend you
    take a photo here to remember the city by. We
    would recommend going there close to sunset
    because that is when it looks the most beautiful.
