• Take a “selfie” close to the 20 pointed star sculpture created by the American sculptor Frank Stella in the mirror of water of the Museum of Tomorrow.
• Observe the solar panels of the Museum of Tomorrow inviting us to understand the planet sustainability by collecting its energy.

The route turned out to be popularly known as Olympic Boulevard, a venue designed
for events promoted during the Olympic Games in 2016. 

At the Imperial Palace or XV Square, we can observe the Colonial Fountain, a relic of the colonial architecture style in the 18th century.
It was an icon of the city when calling attention to being quite bold for that period. The fountain is all worked in carved stone. 

One of the must-sees for tourists and locals is the work of North American artist Anthony Howe, who created the Olympic cauldron in a dynamic structure that creates beautiful images when moving, whether with the Olympic fire lit or under the reflection of the sun on his spatulas Rotating. 

Viewed from different angles, Olympic Pyre has as background Candelaria, the Island of Cobras, the architectural ensembles of the France-Brazil House and the Banco do Brasil Cultural Center. Several angles that generate beautiful photos. 

the Museum of Tomorrow, the work of the architect Santiago Calatrava, is dedicated to exploring, thinking and projecting the future. One of the most coveted spots for “selfie” lovers is the 20-pointed star created by the American sculptor Frank Stella. It stands in the mirror of water between the museum and Guanabara Bay. 

On the way to AquaRio, one can admire several murals. Among them, of course, the "Todos Somos Um," We Are All One, mural by Brazilian artist Eduardo Kobra. Guinness World Records recognized it as the largest mural in the world. 

Finally comes the newest attraction in Rio de Janeiro which is AquaRio, the largest aquarium in Latin America. AquaRio has 28 tanks in addition to a reservoir where you can see sharks and other giant fish, through an acrylic tunnel. The AquaRio deserves to be visited but allows an hour and a half for this.

After this tour, you will be able to choose the next scheduled visit to some of the attractions seen from the outside during the walk.
