Mercado Publico...Market, situated at Largo Glenio Peres.build 1869
Has great Restaurants and Coffee bar's and over 100 stalls with typical Gaucho specialities, but of course all other ethnic groups introduced their typical dishes to the Region
where we all one day have our resting place, so why not of interest when still alive. in South America Cementeries have there place in society, a sunday afternoon picnic here for the whole family is not rare
Apart form visiting the typical places in the town, you can go to Gramado and Caracol´s Park in Canela .
Gramado is a german village in Brazil. One person who does not whre he is, would think he´s at Tirol or something similar. Very surprising.
And Caracol´s Waterfall is worthy because the landscape is very nice. This waterfall is quite high, nothing to envy from the height of Iguazu waterfalls.
Piratini Palace is the seat of the State of Rio Grande do Sul Government. It is located at Praça Marechal Deodoro da Fonseca (Praça da Matriz), beside the Cathedral.
The construction of this building began in 1909 and was finished only in the 70´s.
This beautiful palace can be visited from Monday to Friday, from 9 am to 5 pm. Unfortunatelly I was there on a Saturday afternoon so I wasn´t able to visit it.
Located on the shores of Guaíba lake, it is an old thermoelectric powerhouse, one of the first reinforced concrete buildings of State,projected to generate electricity based on coalt, was active from 1928 to 1974.The large chimney (117m tall) is still maintained and is considered one of the city postcards. Since 1991, its 18,000 sqm of total area were opened to the public and become one of the most important cultural centers of the State. This place hostes ....also famous for being one of the best places to see and enjoy the famous and elusive sunset of Porto Alegre. During the weekends, this place is the right destination for many city residents and tourists because of the view of Guaíba lake, with its islands and nature, and also for the boardwalk along the lakeshore, which is commonly used for walking, bicycles, rollers and others.
Near the Gasometer is the port of Porto Alegre.
