Favorite thing: Parque da Cidade is one of the best places in Rio's area where you can understand more about the city from ANOTHER CITY...Niteroi is so close to Rio that you can see all over, all the mountains, all the beaches and some islands!
The sunset is a real playground for photographers!
I took this one and way much more!

Favorite thing: There is a viewpoint in the Bayside of Niteroi that no one knows, but it has such a fantastic SUNSET SPOT!!
People say that BEST SUNSET in rio should be from the Sugar Loaf or at the Arpoador....NO NO NO...You will have to cross the bay and see the sunset from this lovely place called Parque da Cidade!
To get there, you should head to a beach called São Francisco.
This hill has a name MORRO DA VIRAÇÃO, but anyone knows PARQUE DA CIDADE!
Fondest memory: I take all my friends and future friends there...Every moment of the day is a wonderful chance to see so many green forests of TIRIRICA National Park.
