Enjoy a half-day tour through the architectural landmarks in Rio. Rio de Janeiro was recently named the first World Capital of Architecture by UNESCO. The city has constructions of the colonial period, buildings in the art-deco style and modernist buildings. Our walking tour starts from the Carioca’s Square in the Downtown area, where we see a group of constructions of the XVII century: the Church and the Convent of St. Anthony. Then we proceed towards the Rio Branco Avenue, the first avenue to be opened in our city. Then, we go to the Cinelandia Square to see its Art Deco Constructions before we make another time jump towards the modernist architecture. The tour ends at the Museum of Modern Art.

The tour was a great way to see a few of the most striking architecture and significant buildings in Rio and to learn about the city’s history. Monica, our guide, was knowledgeable, personable and helpful. She customized the tour based on our interests to include an exhibit of handicrafts from different regions of Brazil and even helped find a great restaurant nearby to have lunch at after the tour. Highly recommend!

An amazing way to learn about the city, its culture, history and art. A must for anyone interested in architecture. It was a beautiful experience to learn about different times of the city, its architectural developments as well as possibility to see the city in action. To see people engaging in their hobbies was a great way to learn about Rio.
