On this guided tour admire the renowned Casa da Cultura and Praça da República in Recife and see the sights of Olinda such as Alto da Sé and Sao Bento Monastery. Enjoy return transport with hotel pickup from Porto Galinhas and Recife.

The tour begins with a view of Recife that spans the 3 districts that make up the city centre—Recife, Santo Antônio and Boa Vista. See the bridge of Maurício de Nassau, Praça da República—flanked by the Governor’s Palace, Santa Isabel Theatre, and the Law Courts—as well as the Casa da Cultura, a building dating back to the 19th century. Originally a prison, it is now a centre for regional culture with craft stores and local delicacies.

In the UNESCO-listed historic centre of Olinda, visit Alto da Sé, where you can see the churches of Sé and Misericórdia along with a breathtaking view of the twin cities, Olinda and Recife. During Carnival joyful revellers parade down the streets, following traditional giant puppets like the Homem da Meia-noite (Midnight Man), or joining colourful troupes such as Pitombeira dos Quatro Cantos and Elefante.
