Niteroi City And Oscar Niemeyer Museum

Tour Description

Our adventure begins by crossing the iconic Presidente Costa e Silva Bridge, popularly known as the Guanabara Bay Bridge. This journey offers breathtaking views of the bay and Rio’s impressive skyline. Along the way, you'll discover the rich history of Niterói, from its establishment to its era as the former state capital.

The first destination is the Caminho Niemeyer, a collection of architectural marvels crafted by Oscar Niemeyer. Spanning over 11 kilometers along Niterói’s coastline, this urban masterpiece showcases Niemeyer’s distinctive curves and open spaces.

We'll explore key attractions like the Teatro Popular Oscar Niemeyer, a remarkable theater that embodies the architect’s vision of merging art with the natural surroundings.

Experience the Niterói Contemporary Art Museum (MAC)

The highlight of our tour is the esteemed Niterói Contemporary Art Museum (MAC), also referred to as the Oscar Niemeyer Museum. Designed by Niemeyer, its futuristic architecture perches on a cliff, seemingly floating above the sea.

Inside, the museum boasts a curated selection of contemporary art, featuring both Brazilian and international artists. The building’s minimalist design and expansive windows amplify the visual allure, rendering the museum as captivating as the art it displays.

Before returning, we'll make a quick visit to the São Pedro Fish Market, a lively hub of local activity in Niterói. Here, local eateries source fresh seafood, and visitors can witness the vibrant interactions of vendors and buyers. If you're feeling peckish, try traditional dishes from nearby food stalls for an authentic taste of Niterói.
