One of the safiest cities in Rio de Janeiro. You can walk alone downtown during the day with no worries, although it is not recommended to walk alone at night hokding your cell phone and taking pictures without having a look around. I live in Petropolis since 2016 and have never witness any crime.

It also boasts iconic landmarks such as the Christ the Redeemer statue crowning Rio de Janeiro and the gargantuan Iguaçu Falls bordering Argentina. Brazil is recognized worldwide for its annual Carnaval, showcasing flamboyant costumes, rhythmic samba music, and thunderous drum parades.

Nestled in the serene mountains of Serra dos Órgãos, in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, lies Petrópolis - the Imperial City. Known for its rich history and magnificent architecture, Petrópolis serves as a living museum of the Brazilian imperial era. Here, you can explore the Imperial Museum, former summer palace of Emperor Dom Pedro II, which houses a rich collection of artifacts from the 19th century. Petrópolis is adorned with charming streets, beautiful parks, and buildings that exude old-world charm such as the Gothic-style Cathedral of Saint Peter of Alcantara that shelters the tombs of Brazil's last Emperor and his family. The Crystal Palace, a stunning glass-and-steel structure, and Quitandinha Palace with its distinctive Norman-style facade are additional jewels of this city that also offers a cool climatic respite from Brazil's tropical heat.
