Iberê Museum is a great place to visit. It's right by Guaíba River and besides seeing lots of paintings and art works, you can find good coffee at Press Café watching one of the most beautiful sunsets. The visitation is free, but it's a good idea to make a reservation and be certain that the museum is open.
