We entered, placed my bag in a locker and walked through to the entrance. You go past a coffee store and merchandise section before entering. We were immediately greeted by Sr. Nelson a guide who asked if we would like to be shown around, he asked what languages we spoke, being English and Portuguese, he proceeded with the tour saying everything in both languages, he was so lovely and very enthusiastic about Pelé. The museum has 4 floors, and our tour began at the bottom and worked up. The floors were in chronological order so it was very easy to follow the history. The exhibit was interesting and full of mixed media, I was blown away! If you have the chance to go to the museum, and you love soccer/football, it is an absolute must! Thank you to Sr. Nelson for making our experience so incredible!

We were in Santos for the day as this was a cruise port stop for us. We had booked a highlights of…read moreSantos tour that included a visit to this museum. Please note there are a few rules here: No backpacks, no water bottles, no flash photography. They do have free lockers with a key. If you need to leave your items before you can enter the museum. If it's a hot day, there doesn't appear to be any air-conditioning in most of the museum, we did find a rumor two upstairs on the second floor that was air-conditioned so you may want to come in the morning before the heat sets in It was good we had a guide that was English speaking that walked us through the museum. There are some English descriptions on items, but not many as one would expect. The tour starts on the old auction floor, which is basically the main area of the first floor and then you proceed into a side room that has more coffee bean trees, as well as different implements. Make sure to pop into the room where you can watch a movie and then from the back exit of that room you head upstairs. The second floor is extensive so make sure you save some time to get all the way around. There is one area up there that is more modern and even has virtual reality headsets. behind this room is a tasting room. I don't believe many people explored enough to find this place! When you're all done, take the time to head back downstairs to the museum café, and use the device to order yourself coffee and cake. We had the brewed coffee and it was absolutely fantastic. Our visa credit card worked just fine and service was friendly and prompt.
