Top Museums in Rio de Janeiro

If you can, visit on a weekday morning. It was way less crowded then, and I could enjoy the exhibits without feeling rushed.

If you have time, plan to spend at least 3 hours here. I thought I could do it in 2 but ended up rushing through some cool parts.

Don't miss the museum's cafe! The coffee was surprisingly good and reasonably priced; perfect for a quick recharge during your visit.

Definitely grab a ticket online beforehand if you can! It saved me some time and I skipped the line. Plus, you can avoid any surprise price hikes at the entrance.

Try to visit on a weekday, especially in the morning around 10 AM. It was way less crowded and I had the galleries all to myself, which made the experience so much better.

Don’t forget to spend some time in the outdoor area. It's a great spot to relax and you can take some stunning photos overlooking the city.

If you're into photography, visit during the golden hour; the light in the vicinity is amazing for photos, especially at sunset.
