Praça Rio Branco Tours

Recife Antigo is at the heart of the most charming part of town: the island of Recife Antigo, which means Old Recife and, as you can tell from its name, is full of history. Although quite small, it holds many attractions for tourists and locals alike, and walking around its cobbled streets and looking up to its beautiful buildings is already worth your while.
Marco Zero Square is one of the main stops on any tourist itinerary. Discover its historical importance or just sit and watch life go by.

This public square in Recife Antigo is popular with many travelers, so make sure it features on your to-do list. However, your day doesn't end there. There are many more places waiting for you to discover after Praça Rio Branco. Boa Viagem Beach, Shopping RioMar, and Shopping Recife are not far away.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (357 reviews)
This is a nice hotel and all rooms above ground floor have lovely ocean views. We do find that hotels in Brasil are expensive for what you get with facilities. Small things broken in the room and public areas. For this sort of money you expect a bit better. Also for an adults only hotel, some staff and policies were more aimed at children. For example, being told where and when you could fill your water bottle for the day, and where and when you couldn't. It's not a big thing to manage.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (301 reviews)
We cannot wait to come back! From the wonderful, pleasant staff to the delicious food and super clean resort, my family had the best time here. It’s so close to the beach if you want to see the ocean, but also enough pools if you want to stay on the resort. The area is very safe during the day and I loved how close it was to the down town area.
