We start our tour at the majestic Theatro Municipal, one of the city's most impressive buildings. There, you will learn about the history and architecture of this cultural symbol. Next, we head to Cinelândia, a historic square surrounded by important buildings, where Rio's first cinemas were opened.

Our next destination is the famous Escadaria Selarón, decorated with colorful tiles from around the world. This open-air work of art should not be missing from your photo album. Soon after, we explore the bohemian neighborhood of Lapa, known for its lively nightlife, traditional bars, and the iconic Arcos da Lapa.
