2 Best Performing Arts in Lisbon, Portugal

These days this monumental structure hosts more rock concerts than bullfights. Holding up to 9,000 people, the Moorish-style auditorium hosts big names like Pixies and Arcade Fire. There's a multi-screen cinema here, too, often showing blockbuster family films in English with Portuguese subtitles.

The latest in screen technology and extra-comfy seats are among the draws at this cinema underneath Lisbon's largest department store. Cheap-ticket night here is Wednesday.
