Niterói - RJ

Just 13 kilometers from Rio de Janeiro, Niterói is more than just a neighbor to the Marvelous City; it is a universe of its own enchantments. While our silhouette majestically outlines against the backdrop of Rio, the internal riches make Niterói a must-visit destination.

With the iconic Museum of Contemporary Art (MAC) and the Niemeyer Path, our visitors immerse themselves in culture and architecture. History enthusiasts are drawn to the Fort Complex, and the vibrant local life can be experienced at the Fish Market, the Fashion Hub, and in the realm of excellent gastronomy.

Speaking of excellence, Niterói takes pride in being one of the best cities in Brazil to live, work, and invest. Leading as the most educated municipality in the country, we boast impressive educational indices and investments that result in the highest quality workforce in the state of Rio de Janeiro.

Our commitment to well-being is evident. With the third-best Human Development Index (HDI) in the country, we prioritize health, education, and sanitation. We are pioneers in healthcare programs and provide 100% of our area with treated water, while 75% of the city is covered by sewage treatment - well above the national average.

Niterói is history, progress, and innovation. From the lands granted to Araribóia in 1573, through the steam navigation of the 19th century, to the monumental Rio-Niterói Bridge, each street and beach tells a chapter of our journey. We were the capital, and even after the merger of 1975, our essence continues to shine.

And here, in the heart of Guanabara Bay, with 11 km of beaches, between the green of the mountains and the blue of the sea, we invite everyone to discover the wonders of Niterói. May your stay be full of discoveries, and may each moment highlight the pride we feel for our city. Welcome!
