A set of cultural facilities and cultural center of great architectural value designed by architect Oscar Niemeyer, in the coastal neighborhoods in the city of Niterói. The complex stretches for 11 km along the edge of the city, from the Downtown to the South Zone.

There are several constructions that make Niterói the second city that has more works by what is considered one of the greatest architects in Brazil and in the world, behind Brasilia only

Museu de Arte Contemporanea de Niteroi

The Museum of Contemporary Art in Niterói includes a program of culture, arts and knowledge. The collection of works by MAC - Niterói is composed of more than a thousand artworks. Among these expressions, the artist Tomie Ohtake and other important names of the artistic movement called Nova Objetividade Brasileira are exemplified.

Fortaleza de Santa Cruz da Barra

The way to our second spot follows the edge of the city, seeing beautiful landscapes. The Santa Cruz Fortress is one of the most visited tourist attractions in Niterói. The guide tells legends, stories and facts related to the Fortress. It is an interesting visit that unites Brazilian history with an incredible landscape. The Fortress' history dates back to the time of Brazil's colonization, when it was necessary to defend the entrance to Guanabara Bay from possible invaders and its construction was started in 1,555 by the french colonizers during their attempted invasion to the region today known as Rio de Janeiro. The Fortress is built on the “corner” of Guanabara Bay, on a huge rock where, on one side, we have the Bay, and the other side the open sea. You can still see Sugar Loaf Mountain, one of the main postcards of Rio de Janeiro, right in front of you.

1 hours • Admission Ticket Included

Known for the personalized service and the delicacies offered in the buffet, the Paludo Gourmet restaurant is “blessed” for its location - with the paradisiacal view of Guanabara Bay, in the São Francisco neighborhood. If you do not want to have lunch here or neither have lunch, you can opt to eat somewhere else (guide will suggest you different places) or extend your visit in visited attractions.

The main ramp facing Guanabara Bay provides a view of the main postcards of Rio de Janeiro, such as the Sugarloaf Mountain, Christ the Redeemer, Pedra da Gávea, Pico da Tijuca, Morro Dois Irmãos, Pedra Bonita, among others.
