Niterói's Absolute Essentials

Niterói offers a distinct architectural and historical landscape across the bay from Rio de Janeiro. This selection highlights the Oscar Niemeyer-designed Contemporary Art Museum and the 16th-century Santa Cruz da Barra Fortress. The list explores the city's coastal defense history through the ruins of Forte São Luiz alongside the rugged terrain of the Serra da Tiririca State Park. From the paragliding hubs of Parque da Cidade to the surf-heavy waves of Itacoatiara, these sites showcase Niterói's unique blend of modernist design and Atlantic forest scenery.
