1 / 5Cultural City Tour In Aracaju
About this activity
Discover Aracaju's cultural heart in three hours, combining panoramic city views from a cable car, authentic local markets showcasing regional crafts, and an innovative interactive museum. This guided tour offers a compact introduction to Sergipe's capital, blending nature, heritage, and modern cultural spaces.
After leaving the hotel we will start our tour by visiting the cable car where you can have a panoramic view of the center of Aracaju and the zoo. The cable car is located within Parque da Cidade, which is part of Morro do Urubu. The park has more than 600 thousand m² of green area and the site is the only one of the city with preserved Atlantic forest. Admission to the park is completely free, but the lift ticket is paid on time at the ticket counter.
Next, we will go to the Antônio Franco and Thales Ferraz Municipal Markets, which are connected via a flower walkway. In these places we will have the opportunity to know a little of the history of local handicrafts, both embroidery, lace, straw objects and also ceramics.
After the market tour, we head to the Sergipana People's Museum, which opened in 2011 and is the first interactive multimedia museum in the north and northeast !. All shown with a lot of technology, innovation and creativity.
