Popular in summer when the coast became hot and muggy, Petrópolis was the mountain getaway for Brazil’s imperial court. Nestled about 3,000 feet (914 meters) high in the Serra dos Órgãos range, the city still serves as a heat-beating retreat for the nearby residents of Rio de Janeiro.

Touch of Europe in Rio
It was the visit to the town of Petropolis as a whole and the Bohemia Brewery visit. The final stop at Katz chocolate leaves a sweet taste.

A wonderful day seeing...
A wonderful day seeing all the sites in Petropolis. The Quitandinha Palace was amazing. We especially enjoyed the Imperial Palace Museum and the cathedral. Julio was an excellent guide! He knew the history of the sites and made it an enjoyable day.

Best Way to See Petropolis!
Faby was a WONDERFUL tour guide! From the hotel pick-up to drop-off, she ensured that my friend and I had an amazing experience. When we mentioned that we would love to have some Brazilian coffee to take home as a souvenir, she incorporated a stop in the tour to accommodate! She was so knowledgeable about all of the places we saw. There isn't a better way to see Petropolis and all of its sights!

History in a Day
I had a great time at the Petropolis, plus exploring the Brewery. It was an awesome day exploring the history of Brazil and my tour guide was awesome, speaking three different languages but making sure me and friend who speak English understood what was going on as well. He was kind and patient. We had a great day and I will definitely recommend this tour to my other friends going to Rio in the future.
