Museum Tickets & Passes in Brazil

The Imperial Museum has the main collection of the country relative to the Brazilian empire, in particular the so-called Second Reign, period ruled by d. Pedro II. There are about 300 thousand museum, archival and bibliographical items available to researchers and others interested in knowing a little more about the subject. When entering, people with bags, backpacks etc. they should be left in the luggage compartment, which provides convenience in the visit and prevents accidents with the public and the collection. It is also necessary to store cameras and camcorders, because to preserve the collection and improve the flow of visitation, it is not allowed to photograph or film inside the palace.Besides the palace, the Imperial Museum has other areas of visitation: the Hall of the Battle of Campo Grande; the Pavilhao das Vaturas; and the Pátio Lourenço Luiz Lacombe.

The Fort of Copacabana is located between Copacabana and Arpoador. It was an important military fortress, built in the early 20th century and now deactivated. From the Copacabana Fort there is a fantastic view of the sea that opens up to the beach of Copacabana and also to the sea and beach of Arpoador and Ipanema. The area is quite large, and consists of millitary facilities that were quartiles annexed to a large bunker, which is a fortress or armored shelter with several tunnels and rooms housing ancient cannons, and surrounding areas in the open air where one can circulate or sit on benches to contemplate the surrounding countryside. In these surrounding areas, there are also cannons and military equipment exposed to the outdoors. The fortress is maintained well preserved, being its internal visitation with its numerous tunnels and armored rooms a great attraction.
