The Centro Cultural de Belem, which was built in the early 1990s, houses a Conference Centre, a Performing Arts Centre, a Exhibition Centre and numerous shops, restaurants and cafés. It's located very close to the Mosteiro dos Jeronimos and just across the road from the Padrao dos Descobrimentos monument. The Exhibition Centre houses the Museu Coleção Berardo, which is a modern art collection, and the CCB is worth visiting just to see the collection.

National Monument, located in the historical centre of the city, classified as World Heritage Site by UNESCO, the Palacio da Bolsa, built by the Porto Commercial Association on the ruins of the Saint Francis Convent, has become by excellence the Porto city’s drawing room, welcoming the most illustrious visitors, amongst which are monarchs, presidents and ministers from almost every country, transforming this building into the most visited monument in northern Portugal.

Formerly the HQ for the rich merchants of Porto and today the center of the chamber of commerce, you will want to take one of the short guided tours of this place next to the famous golden church. Tickets cost €10 and you will be guided through some historic and breathtaking rooms in the Stock exchange palace. Tours are offered in different languages throughout the day and you just need to pop into the ticket office to find out the day's schedule as it varies (apparently). We arrived 9:40 and we able to book the 10:15 English tour. Each group has around 50 people which can be a bit tedious. The tours follow a consistent plan beginning in the lofty hall of nations and ending in the amazing Arabic room. You also see the business court room and several others of note. We were done in a little under an hour.

the amazing story of Bandarra is the important thing of the site, as part of the Jewish Quarter of Trancoso, worthwhile visiting here to know about his story and also of the Jewish community of the village. Loved it.
