Santa Teresa, Lapa, and Cinelândia with Tram Ride

Itinerary

Discover some of Rio de Janeiro’s most iconic landmarks on a scenic tram ride across the Lapa Aqueduct (“Arcos da Lapa”) from Downtown to the charming hilltop district of Santa Teresa. Along the way, visit the Ruins Park, Selarón Steps, Passeio Público, Cinelândia, and the historic Confeitaria Colombo.

Begin your tour in the city center (“Centro”), where you’ll board the traditional tram (“bondinho”) to Santa Teresa, known for its bohemian vibe. The Lapa Arches, one of Rio’s most recognized postcards, originally served as an aqueduct bringing water from the hills to the city below.

Wander through Santa Teresa’s cobbled streets, surrounded by colonial architecture and artistic flair. Perched on a hillside, this neighborhood has become a cultural hub thanks to its unique character and prime location.

Next, visit the Ruins Park, an open-air cultural space built around the remnants of a historic mansion (note: closed on Mondays). Enjoy panoramic views of the city, including Downtown and Sugarloaf Mountain, before heading down the colorful and world-famous Selarón Steps.

Continue your journey through Passeio Público, the oldest public park in Latin America, to reach Cinelândia—an area filled with theaters, restaurants, and nightlife that showcases Rio’s vibrant cultural scene.

End your experience at the iconic Confeitaria Colombo (closed on Sundays), consistently ranked among the world’s must-visit cafés for its elegant atmosphere and rich history.
