Itinerario

1. You arrive in front of the famous Arcos de Lapa. An emblem of the neighbourhood that has become another symbol of Rio, just like the Corcovado, Copacabana or the Selaron staircase.

2. The pink and white palace you see in front of you is the Masonic Palace of Lavradio. It was classified and protected in 1972 by Inepac, the State Institute of Cultural Heritage, for the historical importance of Freemasonry during the imperial period in Brazil.

3. So you certainly didn’t expect to find a pyramid-shaped cathedral when you visited the historic Rio. And yet, the Cathedral of San Sebastian is indeed an avant-garde representation reminiscent of the pre-Columbian pyramids.

4. This beautiful façade, richly carved, is that of the Royal Portuguese Reading Cabinet. This library is listed by the State Institute of Cultural Heritage and was voted the fourth most beautiful library in the world by the Times magazine.

5. See this beautiful vintage café on your right. This is the confectionery Colombo, a real institution in Rio. It's like the Paris of the Belle Époque! This café was founded in 1894 by Portuguese immigrants.

6. This large building, opposite you on the left, is the Banco do Brasil Cultural Center. With such a name, you understand, this neoclassical building was, at its core, dedicated to the world of finance!

7. You are facing the beautiful baroque church of Our Lady of Candelaria. His story begins with a legend. In the 17th century, a boat named Candelaria swelters a storm over the sea and narrowly avoids a shipwreck.

8. You now go up Rio Branco Avenue, the Avenue de la rivière blanche in French. Formerly known as Central Avenue, it is the main urban reform led by Mayor Pereira Passos at the beginning of the 20th century.

9. Here you have the entrance to the monastery of São Bento, or St. Benedict in French. Do not hesitate to pause the Audio Guide and go upstairs to visit it.

10. You arrive at the Mauá practice, completely remodeled for the Olympic Games. At the birth of the city, the place was called “Largo da prainha”, that is, the patio of the small beach, in reference to the beautiful cove that opened below.

    Si passa davanti

11. But what catches the eye in this square is obviously this incredible museum that you see by the bay. This is the Museu do Amanhã, the Museum of Tomorrow, THE centerpiece of the great project to revitalize the Porto Maravilha district.

12. It is by walking away from the museum, and admiring it in this way, standing out all white on the turquoise waters of the bay, that we become aware of all the singularity of the building.

About Rio de Janeiro

Rio de Janeiro si distende tra montagne e oceano: spiagge famose, vette di granito, ritmi di samba e un carnevale noto in tutto il mondo.

Il Cristo Redentore si erge con le braccia aperte in cima al Corcovado, guardando la città dall'alto, e le funivie salgono al Pan di Zucchero per viste sulla baia di Guanabara. In basso, le spiagge di Copacabana e Ipanema sono il palcoscenico della vita quotidiana, con pallavolo, chioschi e il lungomare a onde, mentre Leblon e Arpoador prolungano la fascia.

Top-ranked sights in Rio de Janeiro: Christ the Redeemer Statue (Cristo Redentor), Sugarloaf Mountain (Pao de Açúcar), Selarón Steps (Escadaria Selarón).
