For visitors who arrive in Porto Alegre not knowing what they&#8217;re going to find, the first thing they probably think is that this is not the Brazil they have imagined, but a city with a deep gaucho tradition and heavily influenced by the European culture of the Azorean settlers who founded it. Whoever visits Porto Alegre will not find samba and carnival, but a delicious and very carnivorous gastronomy, nearby villages that seem to have been brought brick by brick from the Alps and neighbourhoods where the class differences of its inhabitants are evident. Get to know what things to do in Porto Alegre, the other version of Brazil that won&#8217;t leave you indifferent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote alignwide\"><blockquote><p><em><em>Organise your travel itinerary with&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en?action=modal&amp;target=register&amp;ref=blogpassporter&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=things-to-do-see-travel-porto-alegre&amp;utm_term=recommendationn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Passporter<\/a><em>&nbsp;easy and functional.

of Porto Alegre&#8217;s must-see landmarks. Perhaps the main hub and centre of city life is the <strong>Mercado P\u00fablico<\/strong>. It is a beautiful colonial-style building and the ideal place to find local produce and immerse yourself in Gaucho culture. <strong>Hours:<\/strong> Monday-Friday 7am-7pm, Saturday 7:30am-6:30pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another must-see in the city is the <strong>Metropolitan Cathedral<\/strong>, on <strong>Pla\u00e7a da Matriz<\/strong>, with its baroque style and colourful friezes on its fa\u00e7ade. <strong>Opening hours:<\/strong> Monday from 9:00 to 12:00 and from 13:00 to 19:00, Tuesday to Friday from 9:00 to 19:00, Saturday from 9:00 to 12:00 and from 15:00 to 18:30 and Sunday from 9:00 to 12:00 and from 15:00 pm to 19:30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" data-attachment-id=\"22930\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/brazil\/things-to-do-see-travel-porto-alegre\/attachment\/vacations-in-porto-alegre-metropolitan-cathedral\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Vacations-in-Porto-Alegre-Metropolitan-Cathedral.jpeg?fit=960%2C720&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"960,720\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Vacations in Porto Alegre Metropolitan Cathedral\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Vacations in Porto Alegre Metropolitan Cathedral&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Vacations in Porto Alegre: Metropolitan Cathedral @pixabay&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Vacations-in-Porto-Alegre-Metropolitan-Cathedral.jpeg?fit=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Vacations-in-Porto-Alegre-Metropolitan-Cathedral.jpeg?fit=960%2C720&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Vacations-in-Porto-Alegre-Metropolitan-Cathedral.jpeg?resize=960%2C720&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Vacations in Porto Alegre Metropolitan Cathedral\" class=\"wp-image-22930\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Vacations-in-Porto-Alegre-Metropolitan-Cathedral.jpeg?w=960&amp;ssl=1 960w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Vacations-in-Porto-Alegre-Metropolitan-Cathedral.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Vacations-in-Porto-Alegre-Metropolitan-Cathedral.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Vacations-in-Porto-Alegre-Metropolitan-Cathedral.jpeg?resize=800%2C600&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Vacations-in-Porto-Alegre-Metropolitan-Cathedral.jpeg?resize=400%2C300&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Vacations-in-Porto-Alegre-Metropolitan-Cathedral.jpeg?resize=200%2C150&amp;ssl=1 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Vacations in Porto Alegre: Metropolitan Cathedral @pixabay<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On the same square as the Porto Alegre City Hall and the Bank of Brazil is another of the city&#8217;s main sights, the Fonte de Talavera de la Reina. It was a gift from the Spanish colony to the people of Rio Grande do Sul. This beautiful fountain is reminiscent of the traditional style of Talavera, a town in the province of Toledo in Spain that gives the fountain its name, because of its colourful ceramics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-rua-das-andradas\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rua-das-Andradas\"><\/span>Rua das Andradas<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, also in the Historic Centre, we recommend a stroll along <strong>Rua dos Andradas.<\/strong> Known as Rua da Praia, it is a beautiful shopping street with a variety of shops and points of interest.

Visiting this large garden, which covers the city in flowers and colour, on Sundays is a favourite activity for Porto Alegreans, as a market is organised with local produce, decorative stalls and all kinds of curiosities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-barrio-moinhos-de-vento-nbsp\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Barrio-Moinhos-de-Vento\"><\/span>Barrio Moinhos de Vento&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The main attraction of this neighbourhood is the park that gives it its name, the Moinhos de Vento Park, one of the most beautiful places you can see in Porto Alegre. Its name comes from the number of windmills, which have now been left decoratively in the park, but were once used to grind grain and served many families who came from the Azores to launch Porto Alegre&#8217;s economy. The neighbourhood is the most affluent in Porto Alegre, and you can see beautiful houses and stroll through its streets lined with terraces and high-end restaurants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-things-to-do-around-porto-alegre\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-things-to-do-around-Porto-Alegre\"><\/span>What things to do around Porto Alegre<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-canela-and-gramado\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Canela-and-Gramado\"><\/span>Canela and Gramado<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Canela and Gramado are two neighbouring cities of Porto Alegre, 130 kilometres from the capital and 9 kilometres from each other. They are two small tourist towns that can easily be seen in a single day, although you&#8217;ll definitely want to stay much longer when you go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The charm lies in the <strong>Bavarian-style architecture<\/strong> that makes these two cities seem transported straight from Europe, especially beautiful Gramado. In addition, the municipality of Canela is home to one of the area&#8217;s greatest attractions, the <strong>Cascada del Caracol<\/strong>.  It is an imposing 160-metre high waterfall located in the Quilombo Valley, one of the most impressive natural sites in Rio Grande do Sul and one of the most beautiful places to see near Porto Alegre. Visiting hours are from 9:00 to 17:30 and admission is 20 reais (\u20ac3.11). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1

describe Porto Alegre as a city that grows on you rather than impressing instantly. Many visitors highlight the strong local culture, especially food, music, and social life. Sharing churrasco or watching the sunset by the Gua\u00edba River is frequently mentioned as a memorable experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some travelers note that Porto Alegre isn\u2019t Brazil\u2019s most touristy city, which they see as a positive. Museums, markets, and neighborhoods feel more local and less curated for visitors.
