  • This is a great vantage point to see both ways along the beaches. It was a short walk from our hotel on Copacabana.

  • 10 reals to enter! It includes a guide. I had a Portuguese guide so I didn't understand much! It felt long! You can take pictures everywhere. You can't touch or stand in certain places which felt annoying at times. Not spectacular but decent! They can improve on lots of things!
  • Beautiful view of Rio and the Guanabara bay, the place has lots of potential which is being wasted by the poor management taking care of the location. Have made two attempts to visit the place and both times end up in frustration as the place was just closed. No website or social media giving accurate and updated information on basic things such as opening hours, the information available online is not trustable as Google and their website do not have updated information. Nobody seems to care about it and as a results it’s facilities such as toilet are all in terrible condition. Both Navy and local governments needs to pay urgent attention to this place as this true waste due to terrible management!
  • Amazing place! Highly recommended!
  • Gorgeous view, good story.
  • The tour in the fortress is nice and the view from it is awesome
