Historical city center 4 hours This tour always starts at the Cinelandia square, where the beginning of the XX century in Rio is most evident. Then we continue to the Selaron stairs passing Arches of Lapa and some graffities on the way. The next stop is St. Sebastian`s Cathedral and the Petrobras headquarters, probably two most controversial buildings in Rio. Here we will understand better architecture of the second half of the XX century and city`s concept. Rio`s downtown is full of surprises. One of them is the Royal Portuguese Reading Room, another - Colombo coffee house. The architecture and preservation of these places will amuse you for sure.
