Santa Teresa is certainly one of the most attractive neighborhoods in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Here history, music, architecture, modern art and street art come together in a melange that represents the essence of Carioca, always halfway between past and future.
The historic center is then the ideal continuation of this journey. The architectural testimonies of Rio "tropical Paris" alongside the skyscrapers and the very modern surface metro that runs through the heart of the city are images that tourists often do not expect and which inevitably fascinate them.
