Description

Tour combining history and architecture. A walk through the imperial city where we will know the history since the arrival of the kings of Portugal, many constructions of the time that are still intact and to finish the tour an internal walk through one of the most famous breweries in Brazil. Important: This itinerary takes place on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. During Tuesdays and Wednesdays we visit the wax museum, instead of the brewery, as the brewery does not open to the public during Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The rest of the itinerary stays the same.
