Yelp Review 2025 #184:
A free thing to do and see while in Rio. It's a 6-minute walk to/ from Parque das Ruinas, and 13 minutes to/from Escadaria Selaron. The place seems sketchy when you look at pictures online but it's actually not bad at all...but you always have to be alert no matter where you go.
This area in Santa Teresa has shops, street art, restaurants and bars. There's a bar that's open during the day where you can sit, eat and drink while you wait for that perfect photo op when a tram is at the station with the backdrop of old buildings.
There's a balcony where you can peacefully e joy the views of the city including Sugarloaf Mountain. It's a great place to take pictures. read more
