Tour location:Recife
From R$135.52 /person
We'll explore both the modern and old parts of Recife, passing by the José Estelita Wharf, integrated into the Pina Basin, and the historic Cinco Pontas Fort, built in 1630. In Praça da República, we find an important architectural complex, including the imposing Palace of Justice, the Campo das Princesas Palace, and the Santa Isabel Theater, each with its own unique architectural style.
A few meters away, we visited the Golden Chapel of the Third Order of Saint Francis, a jewel of the Baroque-Rococo style, an artistic movement of the 18th century.
We continue toward the Casa da Cultura, where a wide variety of Northeastern crafts await us. Nearby, we visit Recife Central Station, built in 1888, which houses the Train Museum, Brazil's first railway museum. Along the way, we admire the Ponte Velha and Rua da Aurora, creating a beautiful view of old Recife.
The itinerary also includes a panoramic tour of the charming neighborhoods of Casa Forte and Poço da Panela, until we reach the Ricardo Brennand Institute, better known as Brennand Castle. We'll be amazed by the beauty of this place, voted the best museum in South America by Traveler's Choice.
Its extensive gardens are filled with valuable sculptures, and the castle itself is a medieval replica, with a permanent collection of works by Frans Post, Jean Baptiste Debret, Facchinetti, Eliseu Visconti, and other renowned artists. We also appreciate French tapestries, Italian sculptures, English furniture, medieval armor, and a collection of bladed weapons from the 16th to the 19th centuries, immersing ourselves in the art, culture, and history of this charming city.
