Many tourists do not know that at less than two hours drive from Rio there is a small and wonderful city at an altitude of 800 meters that is worth knowing. This is Petrópolis, called "the imperial city" because in the nineteenth century Emperor Pedro II had made this place his summer residence. With this tour I want to present you some of the most important places in the city: the Quitandinha Palace, the Praça da Liberdade, the imposing Saõ Pedro Cathedral, the Imperial Palace, and the home of Santos Dumont, the father of Brazilian aviation. But Petrópolis is much more than all this: we will visit the ancient Bohemia beer factory and cannot miss a walk in the Via Thereza, where there are dozens of clothing stores with very advantageous prices. Not to mention the Christmas period, when the city lights up with splendid decorations and offers musical performances and shows every day that have made it famous throughout Brazil.
Petrópolis will amaze you!
