Parati Things to Do: 102 reviews and 261 photos

The first and most famous attraction in Paraty is the Centro Historico, a historical monument with its architecture from Brazil's colonial period. Today the centre is well-preserved tourist area, filled with good restaurants, bars, shops with local handicrafts, galleries and churches. It is usually full of street vendors, artists and performing groups. The main praça (square) features the town's principal church and many sidewalk cafes.

Paraty is a perfect place simply to wander around without any particular plan. Each turn of the corner brings another picturesque view. You can walk the cobblestone streets of Paraty hours and hours admiring the details of all those colourful and centuries-old buildings. It will certainly give you the greatest enjoyment :)

Be sure to wear good walking shoes as the stone streets are sometimes not so easy to navigate.
