Espaço Cultural da Marinha

Rio de Janeiro


Naval enthusiasts shouldn't miss this waterfront museum, a short stroll from Praça XV. It contains the Riachuelo submarine, which you can wander through, the Bauru (a WWII torpedo boat) and the royal family's large rowboat. Boat tours going to Ilha Fiscal palace as well as around the bay leave from the docks here.
