Rio In Depth: 5 Days with Petrópolis Imperial City
Stay in Ipanema, explore the old city, port area and Santa Teresa at a relaxed pace, and add a day trip to the imperial city of Petrópolis.
Beyond the classic landmarks, give half a day each to the old city and the port district: the Imperial Palace (Paço Imperial), the Royal Portuguese Reading Room, the Saint Benedict Monastery and the Museum of Tomorrow. In the evening, head to Lapa to hear samba. On day four, take a coach up the mountains to Petrópolis to see the Imperial Museum, avoiding the seaside heat. The pace is moderate, suited to travelers who enjoy historic architecture and city life.
The Imperial Museum is closed on Mondays, so plan your Petrópolis day trip for another day.
