The 5 Best History Museums in Zona Sul (South Zone), State of Rio de Janeiro (RJ)

October 21, 2021 Lean Nau

With its plentiful beaches, dramatic mountains, and backdrop of samba and bossa nova rhythms, it's easy to fall in love with Rio de Janeiro. Made famous in song, Ipanema Beach is still the place to stroll, sunbathe, and be seen. The largest Art Deco statue in the world, Christ the Redeemer, beckons visitors to Corcovado Mountain. Rio’s annual Carnaval celebrations are bacchanalian extravaganzas of feasting, music, dance, and costumed revelry.

Besides being able to see the fort with the entrance fee (7 real) there's also some interesting museums. There's some nice cafes as well . They are a bit expensive though.
