We visited the fort mainly for the tea shop, but we whiled away a few hours just looking around.
It's a really interesting place with lots of twist and turns and obviously the majority of it is underground. There's some pretty cool engineering around too, with some of the largest spanners I've ever seen!!
Great fun all around, and quite...

I really love this place. The Forte of Copacabana is really beautiful, and tells us a beautiful story of this city. It stands between the beaches os Ipanema and Copacabana! It's a fantastic spot for those who love to photograph.

The coffee shop in there is not the best,...

You do not have to go sailing to see Copacabana Beach from the Ocean - you can do it in the comfort of the Fort of Copacabana. Here you will find a military museum, an art gallery, music performed at sun-set (check program before going) and the almost original seventeen century cannons. A wonderful cafe where sometimes there is a...

You can get some of Rio's feeling going to Forte de Copacabana.
Amazing view, part of our history, ocean nearby, and to finish you visit (or to start) is mandatory to have breakfest at Confeitaria Colombo enjoying all the above. The breakfest part is just my opinion, however highly recommended and don't get updet about the queue, it is totally...
