Rio Center
The center of Rio de Janeiro |
| |
| The best way to explore the downtown Rio is walking. Take the underground to Station Cineladia. Leaving the station you are up at Praca Floriana in the middle of three marvelous buildings: Palaco Pedro Ernesto (the city hall), Bibliotheca Nacional and Teatro Municipal. Nearby but sometimes hidden are many more attractions. |
