When you think of Rio de Janeiro, what comes to mind? Probably Cristo Redentor, Pão de Açúcar, or the Copacabana boardwalk. But I want to invite you to cross the "beach line" and discover Imperial Rio. Having been the capital of Brazil and the seat of the Portuguese Royal Family, the city center holds architectural gems that make you feel like you're in another era. Shall we take a stroll through this other side?

Considered one of the classics of MPB (Brazilian Popular Music), “The Girl from Ipanema” is also one of the Bossa Nova "anthems".
