Santa Maria Maior, Lisboa, Portugal
Most ruins get rebuilt.
MAAT
Avenida de Brasília, Alcântara, Lisboa, 1300-598, Portugal
MAAT looks like a stingray made of ceramic tiles that decided to beach itself on the banks of the Tagus.
Museu Calouste Gulbenkian
45A Avenida de Berna, Avenidas Novas, Lisboa, 1600-001, Portugal

Museu do Fado
Largo do Chafariz de Dentro, Santa Maria Maior, Lisboa, 1100-288, Portugal
Fado is Portugal's answer to the blues — a music of longing, loss, and that untranslatable Portuguese word "saudade," which roughly means the bittersweet ache of missing something you once had, or might never have had at all.
Museu Nacional do Azulejo
4 Rua da Madre de Deus, Penha de França, Lisboa, 1900-312, Portugal
