Praça Hercílio Luz
About
Praça Hercílio Luz. This square is one of the most pleasant places in the entire city. It was right here that the first settlers arrived and nowadays it's home for several attractions. You will have the oportunity to visit the "Museu da Cerveja" (Beer Museum) and see how beers are brewed. There's also a monument for the Brazilian soldiers who fought in World War 2. Also in this area if you go down to the shore of the river, you'll see a magnificent view of downtown from below. In this region it's very common to see capybaras, the biggest rodents in the world, and don't worry, they're gentle. Across the street there's the old city hall, a very beautiful building. You can also come here at night, as in the brick building there is a Cervejaria (Beer pub) called Biergarten.
