Detailed Guide to Rio de Janeiro Attractions(pat 2)

📍 Real Gabinete Português de Leitura A former royal library, now mainly a photo spot for tourists. It’s within walking distance from the cathedral via main roads — we felt safe during the day. 📍 Mosteiro de São Bento A stunning church worth visiting! The interior is filled with gilded Baroque-style wood carvings — a rare style even in Europe. 📍 Museu do Amanhã (Museum of Tomorrow) The exhibitions inside aren’t the most engaging, but the architecture is futuristic and photogenic. Best visited 30 minutes before sunset for golden hour views. Walk further along the shore to find coconut vendors (R$10 each) — enjoy fresh coconut water while watching the sunset over the water. 📍 Santa Teresa A charming neighborhood accessible by the iconic yellow tram. Most Uber drivers avoid driving up due to the narrow cobblestone streets. To take the tram, take a taxi to Estação de Bonde de Santa Teresa. #Museu do Amanhã#Mosteiro de São Bento#Rio de Janeiro #travel guide#trip diary#brazil#Rio de Janeiro guide
