Petrópolis
Where to stayPetrópolis, the Imperial City, offers a diverse accommodation market that blends 19th-century historical charm with modern comfort. For 2026, trends point to an appreciation for stays that combine exclusivity and nature.
- Historic Center: Ideal for those seeking proximity to the Imperial Museum, Casa de Santos Dumont, and sophisticated gastronomy. It is the best choice for travelers without a car or those who prefer walking.
- Itaipava: The "favorite" destination for those seeking luxury, charming inns, high-quality gastronomy, and a romantic atmosphere. Excellent for couples and extended resort stays.
- Araras: The choice for those desiring total disconnection. A mountainous region focusing on high-end vacation homes (villas and private chalets), offering breathtaking views of the Serra dos Órgãos.
- Safety and Logistics: The center is busy but safe; rural areas like Araras have access via winding roads, making a car essential.
