niterói is the modern city that stands across the guanabara bay, easily accessible from rio via the rio-niterói bridge and ferry services. because of niterói's close proximity to rio' zona sul, we included réveillon in niterói as one of the points of interest for new year's even in rio de janeiro. niterói is internationally renown for its iconic museu de arte contemporânea - the contemporary art museum, built by famous architect oscar niemeyer. niterói has been a chosen place of residence by many cariocas, and this is actually a sprawling city with about 500,000 inhabitants, where housing prices are comparatively lower than in rio de janeiro.
