Santa Teresa Walking Tour: Rio de Janeiro

Overview of the tour in Rio de Janeiro

Highlights
- Explore the lovely Bohemian district of Santa Teresa, considered to be Rio's version of Montmartre
- Pay a visit to the iconic and picturesque Selaron's Staircase to see the late artist's masterpiece
- Jump on the last tram line in Rio de Janeiro
- Ride the Rio subway and see how locals get around the city

Time to explore one of Rio's most beloved neighbourhoods - Santa Teresa. While this is mostly a Rio walking tour, we'll start with a little public transit, shall we? Take the subway downtown so you can experience how locals get around Rio and help orientate yourself in the city.
We'll wander about on foot and discover beautiful architecture, art galleries, restaurants, and local costumes that characterise Santa Teresa.

One of Rio's oldest neighbourhoods, Santa Teresa, situated high on a hill overlooking Rio, enchants locals and visitors alike with its cobbled streets and eclectic architectural styles. The views of the city centre and the bay aren't too shabby either. (Okay, they're stunning, but that's hardly a surprise...we're in Rio, after all!).

Things to note

Dress standard: Latin Americans can be very conscious of appearance so try to be casual but conservative in your dress. Outside of beach areas halter tops and very short shorts should not be worn. When visiting churches or religious sites shoulders and knees should be covered.

Closure of sites: In lieu of the subway, other transportation might be used for safety reasons whenever necessary. Also, the bus to Santa Teresa will be taken if, for some reason, the tram is not running.
