The area
Address
Neighbourhood: Centro
Downtown Rio is the place where this city was born. With modern skyscrapers sharing space with historical buildings and landmarks, this neighbourhood is living proof that the old and the new can live together harmoniously. As you would expect, downtown is where all major companies house their offices. However, the region isn’t restricted to businesses. Gems such like the “Paço Imperial,” which is a cultural centre that used to serve as a residence for governors of Brazil, can be found here. Pedra do Sal, a Monday night street party, is also in this neighbourhood. This landmark is the birthplace of samba and is famous for its “roda de sambas” (“dance circles”). Stop in for one and get closer to discovering where Brazilian happiness comes from.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Esta avenida corre desde la plaza Cinelandia hasta el puerto y es una visita imperdible para todo turista que llega por primera vez a Río. En su recorrido se destacan tiendas y restaurantes así como modernos edificios de oficinas que contrastan con algunas joyas arquitectónicas de principios dl s. XX. Siempre corre viento porque, en su momento fue abierta para que circule aire y limpie el ambiente desde el punto de vista sanitario. Una joya de Río de Janeiro.

A Rio Branco é um corredor histórico e cultural localizado no centro do Rio de Janeiro. Ao longo da avenida passamos pela Cinelândia, onde pode-se apreciar prédios históricos como a Biblioteca Nacional, o Palácio Tiradentes, o Teatro Municipal e o Museu Nacional de Belas Artes. No caminho avistamos ao longe a Candelária, os prédios comerciais e, na Praça Mauá, chegamos à área revitalizada da cidade, com o MAR e o Museu do Amanhã. Pertinho também está o Mosteiro de São Bento. Vale a visita!

Vale a pena conhecer, mas no dia que eu fui os museus estavam todos fechados em pleno sábado.
Cheio de prédios históricos e locais com arquitetura clássica.

Достаточно длинная (больше двух километров) улица, пересекающая весь старый центр города. Мы ходили по ней пешком и ездили на трамвае. Улица интересная и очень многоликая. От современных небоскрёбов до старых зданий , от невразумительных стекляшек, до шикарных архитектурных шедевров. Огромное количество магазинчиков, кафе, парикмахерских и .д. Много народа. Разного. Нужно быть осторожным. Рекомендую проехаться на комфортабельном трамвае. Мы ехали зайцем. Просто за деньги или по карте банка билет взять невозможно. Нужно обязательно приобрести специальную карту, потом положить на неё деньги и только потом расплатиться в вагоне. Т.Е если ты едешь один раз, то билет не купишь. Поэтому проехали зайцем. Чуть не попались :-)).

Não custa lembrar que deve ter atenção com ladroes, mas é magnífico andar no meio daquelas construções. Sugiro saltar perto da estação da Cinelândia e andar no mínimo até a estação da Carioca. Já será um passeio lindo!

A Av. Central, hoje Rio Branco foi aberta no início do século XX, por iniciativa do Prefeito Pereira Passos. O casario colonial e algumas igrejas foram demolidas para dar lugar a um "pedaço de Paris" no trópico. Ela se estende do Obelisco, com vista para o Pão de Assucar, até a Praça Mauá, onde se encontram o Museu do Mar e o Museu de Arte do Rio. Em todo o seu percurso, ainda são encontrados 12 prédios da época do concurso de fachadas, promovido por Pereira Passos. À Pé, ou de VLT a observação desses prédios proporciona uma visão de como era o "projeto de cidade" ansiado na época.Os prédios mais recentes também merecem atenção, com exemplares de diversas momentos e estilos. A perspectiva de algumas transversais mostram a série de fachadas dos sobrados do casario do Sec. IXX, o Convento de Sto. Antônio e a curiosa "incrustração de uma igreja com um prédio comercial, na esquina da Rua do Rosário. O trecho do Obelisco à Ruas São José, onde se encontra um importante conjunto de prédios do início do século - Clube Naval, Museu nacional de Belas Artes, Teatro Municipal, Biblioteca Nacional, o Centro Cultural da Justiça Federal e diversas oportunidades de boa comida - está interditado ao tráfego, ocupado pela linha do VLT e por uma esplanada com ciclovia e locais de descanso e encontro.
