With its massive cranes and unusual equipment and machinery, Valongo Wharf is a hive of activity. Get a peek into how a busy port operates and how much cargo moves in and out every day.

Situated in Porto Maravilha, this waterfront industrial area is worth a visit. But you'll find loads more to discover in the area. Christ the Redeemer, Sugar Loaf Mountain, and Maracanã Stadium aren't too far from Valongo Wharf.

I really enjoyed my stay at this property. It was convenient, within walking distance of so many cool places. The property was clean, the breakfast delicious, and the staff was awesome. The only downside was that the building is on the older side and does show signs of needed maintenance.
