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.
