Bonde de Santa Teresa


The Santa Teresa tram is the historic line that still crosses the Lapa aqueduct between Centro and the hill.

Wikipedia describes the tram connecting Centro with residential Santa Teresa in the hills immediately above. The ride over the arches is the postcard; service can pause for works — look at the terminus at Largo da Carioca before you plan a day around it.

Tickets are sold at the tram, not on this page.

How to go

Walk to Largo da Carioca for the lower terminus, or watch the tram on the aqueduct from Largo da Lapa.
