Colonial and French Architecture - Santa Teresa The Artistic Heart of Rio!
Duration
6 hours
Overview
-
This tour is special because the breezy hilltop location of Santa Teresa neighborhood in the middle of the downtown city of Rio de Janeiro is very unique. It was not by chance, that it was the first choice for wealthy settlers in Rio, back in time.
The neighborhood’s cobbled streets are lined with some of the finest examples of colonial and French architecture of the time, mansions that were once home to the city’s wealthy elite, and today function as artists’ studios, restaurants, and guesthouses...
The neighborhood is also known as the artistic heart of Rio.
Strolling around the neighborhood is a pleasure in itself, and the views offered from the top are awesome.
Besides, Santa Teresa is a top destination for foodies, as the neighborhood is one of the best places in the city to sample traditional dishes from across Brazil and the best caipirinhas in town.
