Walking through the halls of the Palace of the Imperial Museum (formerly the imperial family's refuge during the summer months) is like traveling inside a history book. One of the thrones used by Dom Pedro II is in the State Room. The feeling is that the emperor can enter there at any time.

The museum has a collection of objects, books, letters and furniture, as well as the shower and the staircase, with steps in the shape of a racket, which can only be accessed starting on the right foot.

Petropolis Memorable Trip

Published on Jul, 2024

It was a good trip. Too bad we cant really roaming around the palace. The brewery trip was great. Guillo is an excellent guide and very well informed about the destination. Overall it was a good trip

Informative and fun

Published on Dec, 2023

The guide Julio was fantastic. We visited quite a few locations and had lots of opportunity to see the local sights. The traffic getting back to our hotels was pretty bad so make sure you don’t have any plans to rush back for!

Petrópolis day tour

Published on Nov, 2023

Our guide translated in 3 different languages! He explained the history of the emperor’s family and defining events that shaped Brazil’s political history. We enjoyed the crystal palace and the porcelain exhibition. The day was well spent.

Informative, personal, fun

Published on Feb, 2023

We really enjoyed the trip! As opposed to a lot of other touristic tours where it's a huge bus with as many people as possible are crammed in and you hurry from place to place, this was in a comfortable van with a small group, giving you the opportunity for a very chill and personal experience. Our guide Julio was tasked with heading this tour TRILINGUALLY and he was amazing at it, really can't recommend it enough.

Nice

Published on Dec, 2022
