Less than two hours' drive from Rio de Janeiro, an enchanting destination awaits at an altitude of 800 meters: Petrópolis, known as "the imperial city." In the nineteenth century, Emperor Pedro II chose this charming locale as his summer residence, and today it offers a rich blend of history and culture.
On this tour, you will discover some of the city's most significant landmarks, including the opulent Quitandinha Palace, the lovely Praça da Liberdade, the majestic São Pedro Cathedral, the historic Imperial Palace, and the residence of the aviation pioneer, Santos Dumont.
But Petrópolis has even more to offer. A visit to the historic Bohemia beer factory provides insight into the local brewing traditions, while a stroll down Via Thereza reveals a plethora of clothing stores with incredible prices. If you happen to visit during the holiday season, you will be treated to the city’s breathtaking decorations and daily musical performances that make it a beloved holiday destination within Brazil.
Prepare to be captivated by all that Petrópolis has in store for you!
