Passeio Público
The Passeio Público is Brazil’s oldest public park, laid out after 1779 in the historic centre.
Wikipedia calls it one of the oldest public parks in the Americas. The garden sits between Lapa and Cinelândia on Rua do Passeio — shade, the alligator fountain, and a pause from the music street.
There is no ticket; daylight is the honest hour.
How to go
Walk toward Rua do Passeio, between the aqueduct and Cinelândia; the garden gates face that street.
