Additional Information

In 1808, the Portuguese royal family relocated their court to Rio de Janeiro, transforming the city into the epicenter of an expansive empire. This guided historic journey commences at the steps of the Church of Nossa Senhora do Carmo da Antiga, one of Rio’s most ancient sacred sites, where you’ll gain insights into the city’s origins. Your guide Pepe, who is deeply enthusiastic about recounting the tales and myths surrounding downtown Rio, will accompany you. Marvel at the Palacio Imperial from its exteriors and explore how Napoleon’s actions in Europe shaped Rio’s establishment and its architectural lineage. Throughout your exploration, you’ll uncover the tale of Mary I, confined to a convent, known as the relogio carioca. Notable landmarks on your route include the National Museum of the Arts—established in 1937. You will encounter the grand Municipal Theatre, unravel the events around the inception of the Republic in 1889, and delve into the narrative of Emperor Pedro II. Your cultural promenade concludes upon reaching the edifice of the National Library.
