Cultural Suggestions
- The venue is a Science Center and Observatory and it will be open for visit also on Sunday morning;
- Juiz de Fora is a medium sized city with approximately 557 thousand inhabitants. The distance of Juiz de Fora to important cities is:
- Rio de Janeiro: 184 kilometres (114 mi)
- Belo Horizonte: 272 kilometres (169 mi)
- São Paulo: 506 kilometres (314 mi)
- Vitória: 519 kilometres (322 mi)
- Brasília: 992 kilometres (616 mi)
- Although lying within tropical latitudes the climate is relatively mild. In April we expect temperatures from 16°C (60 °F). to 24°C (75 °F).
- Must try typical food from the state of Minas Gerais
- Please check other interesting tourist attractions here!
