Porto on Stage

The stops, in walking order

1. 1

   Stop 1: Centro Cultural STOP

   ~3 min here

2. 2

   

   Stop 2: Coliseu do Porto

   ~3 min here

   A fire once tore through this building’s stage, main hall and dressing rooms—yet the Coliseu reopened on the seventeenth of December 1996.

3. 3

   

   Stop 3: Teatro Carlos Alberto

   ~3 min here

   The most revealing detail here is not something carved into the façade: Teatro Carlos Alberto has no legal heritage protection.

4. 4

   Stop 4: Museu Municipal de Numismática

   ~1 hr here

5. 5

   

   Stop 5: Instituto de Ciências Biomédicas Abel Salazar

   ~3 min here

   Here, the study of health reaches well beyond human patients: ICBAS teaches medicine alongside veterinary medicine, aquatic-environment sciences, biochemistry, and bioengineering.

6. 6

   

   Stop 6: Museu Nacional Soares dos Reis

   ~1 hr here

   This museum begins with an upheaval: Portugal’s first public art museum was created in 1833 on the initiative of Pedro, Duke of Bragança.

7. 7

   

   Stop 7: Teatro Municipal do Campo Alegre

   ~3 min here

   Four very different rooms make Teatro Municipal do Campo Alegre a theatre complex rather than a single-stage venue.

8. 8

   

   Stop 8: Guilhermina Suggia

   ~3 min here
