Find an excuse to go. Figure out whoever is playing and go never if you're not a big fan. The venue is beautiful. Then go up to the 7th floor for a panoramic view .

Check timetables to schedule a tour !!! (You have to go on a tour to get inside the place) and It really worth it!!!

A place you should definitely visit if you're touring Porto. Besides the architecture , the musical events are also great!

Florent Joly

Like the architecture and events there. The entrance is a bit confusing, it's on the side and not in the middle

Joanne

Beautiful building by Rem Koolhaus. Wish I went inside.

Martien Brander

Combine your show with a nice menu in the restaurant upstairs afterwards. EUR 15 pp. Ask for it at the cash office , even if you already have your tickets.

Beautiful example of brutal architecture , restaurant on the 7th floor opens at 7:30

Go there at night for a concert or the party after it

Design irreverente, com concertos fantásticos e programas para crianças dinâmicos e interativos!! Excelente

Erman Özdemir

Guide esliginde turlara ücreti karsiligi katilip tüm binayi gezebiliyorsunuz. Ama bence en iyisi gelmeden once websitesinden konser bileti alip izlemek olurdu. salonda bir konser dinlemek isterdim.

Riey Rui

Design inovador. Ponto de visita da cidade do Porto obrigatório.

Nao Tomita

カーサ・ダ・ムジカ:レム・コールハース(2005)。ポルトが欧州文化首都の一つに選ばれたことを契機に誕生したコンサートホール 。多くの人に開かれたホールにすべく、各所に穴(窓)を設け、建物内部で行われていることが外からも見えるよう設計された。複数のパフォーマンスが同時進行できる会場としても機能しており、建物そのものが、建築 的な冒険を体現している。
