Frequently Asked Questions

At the terminal roughly two kilometres from downtown. A few minutes on foot or a short taxi ride brings you to the old streets.
At the far south of the country, close to the Uruguayan border, at the entrance to the Lagoa dos Patos. It is the oldest city in Rio Grande do Sul state, founded in 1737 to guard access to the lagoon.
The old town and the oceanographic museum work on foot or with very short rides, filling half a day comfortably. The Molhes da Barra and Praia do Cassino require an excursion and more time.
São Pedro cathedral, in pastel tones, watching over the city since the eighteenth century, then the old mansions and warehouses from the maritime trading era. Look at the details: azulejos inherited from Portugal, worked cornices, shop signs from another century.
Only partly. Many buildings still await restoration, and that faintly sleeping-beauty air is part of the character. Anyone expecting an immaculately renovated historic centre will be disappointed.
Whale skeletons, shell collections and tanks devoted to regional wildlife, in one of South America's most significant oceanographic museums, attached to the local federal university. For a family call, it is the safest stop of the day.
Two stone breakwaters several kilometres long framing the channel that links the Lagoa dos Patos to the Atlantic. Anglers cast their lines there, cargo ships file past just off the rocks and the offshore wind sweeps everything.
A beach regarded as one of the longest in the world: a strip of sand running toward Uruguay for over 200 kilometres. You do not come here for palm trees, but for a grey-green immensity that impresses in its own way.
That of the horsemen of the inland plains. It is tasted more than toured: slow-grilled churrasco, mate shared from a gourd, traditional music on festival days. In the streets, locals carry their thermos under one arm at all hours.
Much cooler than the rest of Brazil: this is the far south, exposed to South Atlantic winds. Pack a windbreaker even in the southern summer, especially for a trip to the breakwaters, where the wind meets no obstacle.
