The main attractions

The variety of attractions found in the city of Manaus makes it one of the main tourist destinations in Brazil.

The Teatro Amazonas, the ultimate symbol of the rubber period, is very rich and opened in 1896, to present European plays and operas that came to delight the rubber barons. In it, Carlos Gomes played “O Guarani” and Enrico Caruso sang “La Traviata”. The construction is simply enchanting both on the outside and on the inside, with its neoclassical facade painted in a pink shade. The dome is made of 36,000 ceramic scales in the colors of the Brazilian flag. Inside, we can see a large amount of English iron and Portuguese and Italian marble. The concert hall has a capacity for 700 people and is decorated with chandeliers from Venice. In the month of May, it is the setting for the Amazonas Opera Festival. If there are no shows during your visit, it is worth taking a guided tour, which is a plunge into the theater’s more than century-old history.

Located next to the port, the Adolpho Lisboa Municipal Market is the ideal place to find everything about handicrafts, smells and flavors from the Amazon. The market is in a beautiful building, built in the 19th century, and is an iron copy and colorful stained glass from Les Halles de Paris.

The Rio Negro Palace has a fantastic external facade, further adorned by the Jefferson Péres park, which surrounds it. The Palace, former headquarters of the government, was built in 1917 by a rubber baron.
