The area
Address
Neighborhood: Centro
Downtown Rio is the place where this city was born. With modern skyscrapers sharing space with historical buildings and landmarks, this neighbourhood is living proof that the old and the new can live together harmoniously. As you would expect, downtown is where all major companies house their offices. However, the region isn’t restricted to businesses. Gems such like the “Paço Imperial,” which is a cultural centre that used to serve as a residence for governors of Brazil, can be found here. Pedra do Sal, a Monday night street party, is also in this neighbourhood. This landmark is the birthplace of samba and is famous for its “roda de sambas” (“dance circles”). Stop in for one and get closer to discovering where Brazilian happiness comes from.

Even though it's under renovations it's worth the visit (if you are a history/architecture fan). The ground floor has amazing hand painted tiles and there is free access to the first 2 floors, unfortunately there is no way to get to the Burle Marx gardens (only see them from far).

The names involved in this project say it all: Lucio Costa, Carlos Leão, Oscar Niemeyer, Affonso Eduardo Reidy, Ernâni Vasconcellos, Jorge Machado Moreira, Le Corbusier and Roberto Burle Marx. And inside there's art work on sight from Cândido Portinari, Alberto Guignard, Pancetti, Bruno Giorgi, Jacques Lipchitz and Celso Antônio Silveira de Menezes.
It's really worth to book a free guided tour at the ministry. One of the levels has a little exhibition about the creation of the building. But more impressing is the meeting room with giant murals by Cândido Portinari. At the same level we could walk in the roof garden. We were even allowed to join the guard to the upper floor, where we had a fantastic sight on Rio de Janeiro. The building needs indeed some refreshment but after all, a Five Star Building stays a Five Star Building.

In the days Rio was the capital of Brazil, this building had the Ministry of Education. It is a nice building to see from the outside, and a great example of what was being done in Brazil the 1940s.
