Rio de Janeiro's Olympic Boulevard

If you are going to visit Rio de Janeiro's Downtown area and you don't take a walk through the Olympic Boulevard, well, I'm sorry to say, you're a going to be missing a whole lot! This specific area is one of the most sough after by tourists and locals as well. Inherited from the Rio's 2016 Olympics, Mauá Square, XV Square, and the whole port area received a revitalised look and today is in the top 10 most visited places in Rio de Janeiro.

This area is also very well known for its street art after Eduardo Kobra painted what used to be the biggest graffiti mural in the world, The Ethnicities mural, recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records. After a while other street artists came to paint their own murals and leave a legacy of their own.

Here we'll be able to visit a fair amount of museums as well, like: Museum of Tomorrow, MAR (Rio's Museum of Art), The biggest ocean water aquarium in South America (AquaRio), Cultural Center of the Bank of Brazil (CCBB), Casa França Brasil, Postal Cultural Center (Centro Cultural dos Correios), and others.
