Santa Teresa

The experience

Santa Teresa is a hilltop neighbourhood of steep, winding streets above central Rio, long favoured by artists. Colonial and early-20th-century mansions now house studios, boutique hotels, bars and restaurants, and the historic yellow bonde tram still climbs its lanes. Sweeping views over the city and Guanabara Bay reward the climb.

Wander the artistic, village-like hills of Rio, riding the old tram between studios and bay-view bars.
