Parque das Ruínas, or Ruins Park, is an ideal cultural outing for couples, friends, or families alike. It offers a kid-friendly experience where you can enjoy a romantic or playful date while admiring the breathtaking view of Guanabara Bay and downtown Rio. The park hosts a range of events, including exhibitions, circus and music performances, plays for children, and a scrumptious breakfast served exclusively for visitors on weekends. The Cultural Center's palace was originally built by a generous patron of the Belle Époque Carioca, Laurinda Santos Lobo, who was famously referred to as the "Marshal of Elegance." This magnificent palace was a hub for intellectuals and artists and is now open to the public as a park for visitors. The palace's unique architecture was recognized with an award by Ernani Freire. Santa Teresa is one of the most picturesque areas in Rio de Janeiro, situated atop a hill that is traversed by the famous tramway tracks. The neighborhood provides a spectacular panoramic view of the city from various vantage points, including the charming Largo dos Guimarães.
