parque lage

从Botanico Garden走过去就可以到达Parque Lage, 主院里的DRI cafe生意很好, 所以也许需要一些时间候位, 最吸引人的就是在院中可以眺望到耶稣像, 远方的耶稣像与古建筑形成一个美妙的光景, 若有机会可以在咖啡厅消磨一些时光, 拍照爱好者会很想造访的绝妙搭配!

There are not many things to do there, but it's nice to walk around the grounds, and take pictures inside by the pool area. An ideal thing to do on a relaxed afternoon, when there is no rush. The building itself is gorgeous, and has a nice story behind it (look it up ;) ). There's also an art school there, so you can see some of the student pieces there. Definitely a place to go if you're into historic buildings or photography. There are also areas on the grounds that are nice for picnics.

There are no many things to do there, but the building and its inner, as well as its garden are very traditional to see the culture of Rio andto have a good time in couple.

My friend raved about taking me to Parque Lage for a lovely brunch. While the buildings themselves are gorgeous and the centre fountain is so beautiful the little cafe inside was a terrible shame. The service was just awful. Nothing was served in a decent timely manner. In fact the two of us ate literally at different times since the server couldn't quite serve anything in unison. My opinion is to close the cafe down. Perhaps open under new management, really, then start again. The setting is lovely and that is what the rest of the experience should be like. Sorry, it was a terrible disappointment.

There are plenty of stops for scenic vistas in Rio: Sugarloaf, Cristo, etc. Parque Lage is altogether different. Built as a mansion by a Brazilian businessman to impress his Italian wife, romance still abounds on the grounds of this park. Walk through gardens that barely hold nature at bay: there are plenty of bridges and paths and follies. The building itself has been turned into an art school. I was able to see some of the artists studios and exhibits. There is a cafe there as well, though it had recently closed. Definitely add this to your itinerary to see another side of Rio besides the beaches!

Wild nature, more so than in the botanical gardens. Best spot to have breakfast in Rio, just make sure you go early, or be ready to wait in line! Def worth it though!

Classical Park in the Heart of Rio, but you shouldn't expect much. Been here since my childhood and the place hasn't been taken care of by whomever is responsible to keep the structure clean.

First the building has an interesting history, also it is very pretty. The park is beautiful. There was a tribe of Brazilian Indians launching a book of natural remedies and medicines from The Amazon. They were teaching about their way of life and an Indian house had been built in the gardens. I lestened to a lecture and did some traditional Indian dancing with a group of bemused visitors. It was a wonderful experience. The main restaurant the pool is a "laid back" experience. Not to be tried if you´re in a hurry, but the food is almost like "home-made" and very reasonably priced. Since the place is an Art School there are normally quite a few paintings around and sometimes exhibitions. Best on a dry day.

Beautifully located in the middle of the forest close to the Botanical garden in Rio. They serve a simple but ok breakfast inside the historical building just by the fontain/pool. Great for a slow walk through the tropical forest park, watching exotic plants and if you're lucky spot tucanos and curious monkeys. Highly recommended.

A beautiful place with loads to see and do or just sit and read in the peace and quiet. Also nice cafes etc for lunch, a definite highlight of Rio.

On the outskirts of the Corcovado the park is a chunk of the Atlantic forest that remains. It has a beautiful architecture, amazing gardens, and a lot of silence.The mansion has a restaurant and the best art school on Rio de Janeiro.One of the best locations to photograph the Christ.

near the jardim Botanico, here you can feel like in heaven, out of traffic, relaxed atmosphere, peaceful, you can read a book sit near the central pool of this '800 building, directly under the Christ! also the breakfast is very good but often long queue for that.

It is near the Botanical Gardens and it is an old mansion in the middle of a forest garden that goes all the way up to the Christ (Corcovado). The waiters are REALLY SLOW. be prepared.

If you want to take a break from the hustle & bustle of Rio, head to Parque Lage. It's a very nice, quiet area for a relaxing walk. Easy to reach via bus or cab.
