The historic center of Rio de Janeiro is surrounded by centuries-old streets and buildings that illustrate important parts of Brazil’s history from the imperial period to the republic.
Visitors who walk along Avenida Rio Branco, pass by Largo da Carioca, Cinelândia, return and take Ouvidor to Rua Primeiro de Março and explore many other paths will find museums, cultural centers and public spaces where characters from Machado’s works lived and were meeting points for intellectuals until the mid-20th century.
