For a change of pace and a very different Rio experience, head to Santa Teresa, one of the city’s oldest and most charming neighborhoods. This hilly area, inland from Flamengo Park, offers impressive views of the bay and city from many parts of the district. Its narrow streets are lined with small one-family houses, many with well-tended gardens. Some have been renovated and you’ll see artist’s studios and workshops. On Sundays, artists display and sell their works on the street. Handicraft stores and charming cafés can be found on Rua Almirante Alexandrino next to the local produce market. There are no “must see” spots here, so just stroll around absorbing the local color.
