Casa da Música (House of Music) in Porto isn't just a music place as the name implies. It's also an art building that took a long time to finish. It's in Boavista and it's very beautiful from the outside. I also like to look at the people who hang out outside House of Music to skate and enjoy the smooth pavement. It's always amazing to see the skills of the skaters.
I've been to the House of Music a couple of times, and I can mention how it looks very big, with many rooms and auditoriums, so I feel like I can get lost there. Some of my favorite groups that have appeared there include Miguel Araujo, Armandinho and Natiruts.
I've also been there to attend the Portuguese Commercial Radio group show during the Christmas season. I'd also like to mention a festival that takes place inside of House of Music; I went there with my friends to enjoy the bar and an artistic night with several different music styles.
