Excursion Walking tour of recife tour at Recife

Discover the colonial influences on Brazilian culture through the architecture and artistry of old Recife. As you explore, you will pass historic patrimonies and artistic landmarks, witnessing beautifully restored buildings alongside others preserved in their original glory. One of the most notable is the Kahal Zur Israel Synagogue on Rua do Bom Jesus; it was the first synagogue built in the Americas.

As you wander deeper into Old Recife, marvel at the distinct Dutch and Portuguese houses dating from the 16th century. Visit the Torre Malakoff Cultural Observatory (outside visit only), built between 1835 and 1855 and renovated in 1999. This Tunisian-style monument offers some of the most breathtaking views of the city.

See the restored pink Apollo Theater, which opened in 1846 and closed for over a century before being renovated into the modern complex it is today. Finally, from the banks of the Capibaribe River in the vibrant Marco Zero Square, enjoy a last panoramic view of this glorious city.
