rio de janeiro has many public parks and gardens,
and many of them
were the product of the inspiration of brazil's
former emperor,
dom pedro i
(peter i).
perhaps one of the grandest and most historic of all of the
city's parks is the quinta da boa vista
(pleasant view garden) - a. unique
mix between a city park
and a garden.
covering an area of over 500 thousand square
meters, the popular garden park is in the city of rio's zona nortein what is now the
são cristóvão district.
