Paço Imperial
Paço Imperial is a former royal and imperial residence now used as a cultural centre, where changing exhibitions can provide an indoor stop during a walk through central Rio.
Why go
Paço Imperial adds a former palace to a walk through central Rio, with changing exhibitions inside. Because it operates as Centro Cultural Paço Imperial rather than a museum with a fixed collection, consult the programme and treat the interior as a flexible stop between nearby historic landmarks.
Useful to know
Check the current exhibition program before going; the content of the visit changes with the calendar.
Plan it as one stop in central Rio rather than the sole reason for a long cross-city journey.
