Art & Culture
Casa de Cultura Mário Quintana
Porto Alegre, Brazil
Community
One of the most important places in the city for appreciating art. The venue offers spaces dedicated to various forms of artistic expression, from classrooms for photography, music, dance, theater, and visual arts, to reading areas spread throughout. The Mario Quintana House of Culture also stands out as a great meeting point in the heart of the city. Its cinema screens alternative films at prices far lower than commercial theaters.
All in all, it’s one of the most democratic and valuable cultural spaces in the city, and it’s also the eternal home of the poet Mário Quintana. Highlights worth visiting include the Elis Regina Auditorium, the Poet’s Room, the Museum of Contemporary Art of Rio Grande do Sul (6th floor – open Tuesday to Sunday until 6 PM), the Natho Henn Public Music Library, the children’s library, and the playroom.

Olivia e Palito was the first real foodtruck I saw in POA. Specialized in sandwiches, they take it to the next level: always using season ingredients and making simple sandwiches look like they came from a Jamie Oliver's TV program. Simple, very tasty, and really cheap. Plus, they always welcome you with big a big smile :)

Pizzinha

Pizzinha, which translates to "Little Pizza" in English, is a small place for a quick bite before or after partying. They have uncountable toppings and you can even customize your own little pizza! It's usually crowded with students, so it's also a very good place to start a conversation.
