10 Museums in Santos That You Shouldn't Miss

December 6, 2021 Myesha Cogley

Although it's also the location of the Latin America's largest seaport, Santos isn't just a boring port town. The city of 420,000, just 75 kilometers from São Paulo, features a seven-kilometer stretch of beach divided into just as many social cliques as you'd find on Ipanema. A verdant promenade separates the beach from the seafront condos and hotels, along which families and friends walk, amble, bike, skate, rollerblade, throw frisbees, you name it. Less sandy points of interest include the Museu do Café Brasileiro (Brazilian Coffee Museum), the Aquário Municipal (City Aquarium), the Orquidário Municipal (City Orchid Garden) and the Neo-Gothic Santos Cathedral.

From the port in São Paulo, take a Taxi to the museu do Cafe. We made a deal with the taxi drive to take us return for 60 real. He waited at the museum for approximately an hour. The museum is well worth the visit and an absolute most to have a Brazilian coffee. It is one of the few places you can get a top quality coffee as their best beans are exported. Enjoy!!!

Art Gallery Benedicto Calixto

Reviewed By Delaware1st - Millsboro, United States

Just across from the beach, this is convenient place to spend a little time. The small garden has a few interesting sculptures and a pleasant diversion from the afternoon heat at the beach. The house itself is an art deco era gem. The interior has two levels - one dedicated to temporary exhibits - some remarkable photography when i visited - and the other floor houses a permanent exhibition of works by Calixto, considered one of the major exponents of Brazilian painting from the beginning of the 20th century. SO glad I took the time to check it out!
