Tourists during tours in Rio often see the long bridge that connects the city with Niteroi. Many don't know the beauties that Niteroi offers to those who visit it and I want to show them to you! We will get to know the "Caminho Niemeyer", a route that combines art and landscape, created by the famous Brazilian architect who, among other great works, designed the capital Brasilia. Continuing along the beaches of Icaraí, Saõ Francisco and Charitas, we will then visit the Fort of Santa Croce, famous for the stupendous panorama it offers of Guanabara Bay and Rio de Janeiro. After the lunch break we will move to Itacoatiara to admire a landscape so wonderful that it has earned this place the title of one of the 15 most beautiful beaches in Brazil. On the way back to Rio we will go up to the City Park, an unmissable panoramic point in the greenery of the Mata Atlantica, from which it is possible to admire a landscape of Rio that I am sure will be unforgettable.

Fantastic Tour

My teenage son and I took a private Niteroi tour w Ed. We loved it! The tour started w a very informal "get to know you" conversation, during which our guide learned about our passion for architecture: he adjusted the itinerary immediately and took us on a fabulous Niermeyer Path, with multiple stops. The Niermeyer Centre had its own guide who was very lovely and knowledgeable (he was born the year I last visited Rio, 25 years ago, and really made it fun and educational for my son). After a fill of modern architecture, Ed took us to see the most amazing panoramic views of over Rio and its neighboring towns. Then, to an operating military fort from 1600s! However, the highlight of the tour was just talking to Ed and learning about life in Brazil, its education system, healthcare, politics, social (im)mobility etc. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in architecture and/or Brazil. Hope Ed gets his dream car soon and hosts you in it. Obrigado!!!

Santa Cruz da Barra Fortress (Fortaleza de Santa Cruz da Barra)

Comfortable footwear is recommended for exploring the fortress’s grounds.
Due to its coastal location, it can be windy outside the fortress, so pack a light jacket.
If you are not interested in seeing the interior of Santa Cruz da Barra Fortress, consider a Guanabara Bay boat tour that passes outside the fort.
