Niterói is located just in front of Rio de Janeiro, on the other side of Guanabara bay. The city hosts most of Niemeyer's architectural masterpieces. Among them, the Museum of Contemporary Art of Niterói, which curves are typical of the architect's work. Apart from visiting the contemporary art exhibitions and admiring the architecture of the place, you can also enjoy a breathtaking view over Rio de Janeiro.

Parque Lage is a mansion from the 19th century, located in the middle of a luxuriant and refreshing park. It has become today a school of art, where exhibitions are often held, and also hosts a cafe and restaurant.

Praia do Diabo is a very small beach, stuck between the two giants Copacabana and Ipanema. As it is smaller than its two neighbors, it is also less crowded, and looks much wilder. Perfect place to see the sunrise in winter, with a few surfers for only company.
