For those who love history and architecture.

Petrópolis' favorite destination when winter comes, Petrópolis combines the charm of buildings from the imperial period with the cold of the mountains and the quality of the infrastructure. The city of Petrópolis, also known as the "Imperial City" because it was the refuge of the Portuguese imperial family during the summer, is a historic city that holds a beautiful architectural ensemble with buildings such as the Cathedral of Petrópolis, the Imperial Museum, where it was the residence of the imperial family and the Quitandinha Palace, which was the largest casino hotel in Latin America in the 1940s. You will also have the chance to visit the home of Santos Dumont, who was an aviation pioneer.

After visiting the most important points in Petrópolis, we will pause at Rua Teresa for shopping.

Museum was great. Crystal palace was a joke. Very little was said about the cathedral, there were no walking tour of the cathedral

The city is beautiful and I would have loved to have seen everything at my leisure, but as I didn't have time, the tour was great to learn at least a little about the beauty and history of the place.

Carlos, the tour guide, was really nice and outgoing. We really loved the tour through the city and also the place where we had lunch was great. We would definitely recommend this visit.

Sights visited in Petropolis were ok but whole trip took way longer than it should have.
We were picked up by Férias Turismo 45 mins late at 9.30 instead of 8.45am. No message sent to explain there would be a delay and I tried to contact phone number given and message online but no response. Then another hour by the time we actually left the city. Appreciate people need to be collected from various hotels but 30mins after we were picked up the bus was back at the hotel beside ours to pick others up, which made no sense. Bus needed an upgrade and microphone quality was poor so hard to hear guide, although his English was fine.
Stopped for 20 mins bathroom break on the way to Petropolis, which was needed given some people had been on the bus for approx 1.5 hours by then, if not more.
Once we got to Petropolis our guide had trouble getting some of our group to keep to time schedule. Recognise not only his fault they were late - one couple were 45 mins later back to bus than the appointed time! - but he did not seem to be able to keep track of people, even tho he had taken telephone numbers. But did not seem to use that info. And I also think he should have made it clearer to everyone what time we needed to be back to the bus.
We had a choice of either shopping or brewery in the afternoon. Shopping was not much tbh - maybe brewery was better but I would have skipped this whole hour.
We did not get back to hotel until 7.45pm. That’s too long a day, especially when a lot of it was spent waiting around for people.
