Day 4
Full day tour Petrópolis with lunch (B/L)

We leave the city of Rio de Janeiro to 'imperial' Petrópolis, some 53 kilometers (33 miles) north of Rio de Janeiro. Our first stop will be at the Palácio Quitandinha, a grandiose palace, built in 1944 as a casino and hotel. An attraction that definitely worth a photo! Afterwards, the city’s main cultural site, the Imperial Palace, deserves our undivided attention. This perfectly preserved summer palace, neo-classical in style, expresses very faithfully what we know from Emperor Dom Pedro II’s character. It goes without saying that we will not miss the imperial scepter and the 1.7 kg crown with its 639 diamonds and 77 pearls! Then we proceed to Dom Pedro II’s last resting-place in the Gothic-style Cathedral de São Pedro de Alcântara. A subsequent coach ride featuring buildings, parks and squares of historic interest reveals the city’s undeniable European face.
Lunch at local restaurant before we return to our hotel in Rio.
