If you'd love to add a bit of extra culture to your escape, put Museu de Arte Sacra on your to-do list. See if guided tours are available or just wander around at your own pace.
Museu de Arte Sacra is an ideal place to begin your discovery of Laranjeiras. This museum comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only spot to see here. Allow time for other attractions like Casa de Cultura Joao Ribeiro, and Igreja do Senhor do Bonfim to really experience what's on offer in the area.
