Old cinema transformed into a bar. It still has a cinema room, where you can find some alternative cinema and concerts. You should look for Porto/post doc, a festival of documentary cinema. The bar is good for electronic music after 2am. It has a very inconstant atmosphere. It can happen to be empty or full crowded.

It is called Crystal Palace because before there was a copy of the one from London. Now it has a beautiful sports building from the 50s and amazing gardens with great views. It also has the Romantic Museum and if you keep walking around (from Rua Entre-Quintas down) you will find some nice and narrow streets from that period.

500 bus. It's a local and cheap bus with 2 floors that starts in the main plaza (Aliados) and goes along the river until the beach (Matosinhos). It stops at the fish market (Matosinhos). We recommend you to use the Andante (the same ticket from the metro) because one trip is valid for one hour, so you can coe in and out when you want. If you buy the ticket from the driver it doesn't work like that. Avoid rush hours.

Shopping

Go to the first floor (in the ground floor is another shop) and you will find a beautiful shop that has an "inventory of the brands that survived the passage of time, to highlight the quality of Portuguese manufacture and to showcase Portugal in a surprising light." We particularly love Bordallo Pinheiro ceramic works.
