No other city in the world with so much charm bears the title of “Marvelous” like Rio de Janeiro. The perfection of nature, which placed the sea and mountains side by side in perfect harmony, join the Christ the Redeemer, Sugar Loaf, Maracana, and the festive lifestyle of Rio. More than a postcard, Rio is a mood, always cheerful and uplifting. The city is about 30 km of coastline bordered by sidewalks and bike paths taken by people all day walking, cycling, running or just watching the movement.

Beyond the beaches – from Copacabana passing by the neo-hippie fair in Ipanema - you still are close to the Lagoon Rodrigo de Freitas, then reaching Flamengo Park going up to the Tijuca Forest, surrounded by beautiful natural scenery and plenty of space for sports outdoors. Rio , however, is also about night life and this can be seen by the bohemian side of Lapa. The neighborhood, which has experienced a long period of decline,has returned to being a meeting point for fans of samba – but also opens space for different musical styles to be seen .
Close to Lapa, the old capital of the Empire and the Republic holds a beautiful architectural collection of nineteenth and twentieth centuries that now houses museums and cultural spaces. Located in the center of the city,you can see old buildings on a walk through Cinelandia, where there are buildings like the Municipal Theater and National Museum of Fine Arts, and around the Praça XV, surrounded by the Imperial Palace, the Centro Cultural Banco of Brazil, the France-Brazil House … Once you are in the business district area , take a cable car, across Arcos da Lapa and stop by the Santa Teresa neighborhood with its narrow streets full of houses that serve as studios, bars and shops.

In the 19th century the island was an object of dispute between the Naval Ministry that wanted it for a rescue station, and the Finance Ministry that wished to set up a customhouse. Called at the time Rats Island, it was entrusted to
the Finance Ministry. In 1881 the customhouse started to be built, a design of engineer Adolpho José Del Vecchio. Soon after, the island received the visit of D. Pedro II. Delighted with the superb view of the bay, the Emperor is said to have defined it as “a delicate jewel box, worthy of a dazzling jewel”. Thus Del Vecchio, admirer of the gothic, created a castle inspired by the 14th century French buildings. His design was awarded the Gold Medal at the Escola Imperial de Belas Artes (Imperial Fine Arts School) exhibition. 
On 27 April 1889 the building was inaugurated in the presence of the Emperor who was transported to the island on the famous Galeota Imperial (Imperial Galley), currently displayed in the Espaço Cultural da Marinha. The highlights of the castle are the exceptional carved stonework, by Antônio Teixeira Ruiz, the floor of the turret in mosaics made of over ten different species of hardwood, by Moreira de Carvalho and the beautiful work in cast-iron by Manuel Joaquim Moreira. Also remarkable are the wall paintings by Frederico Steckel
