Fortaleza's City Center Walking Tour

FORTALEZA'S CITY CENTER TOUR
The city center of Fortaleza is where it all began in this part of Brazil. During this tour, we will pass through many historical places and present you historical, cultural, interesting, and also funny facts related to the city's development, slavery, change of habits, architecture, gastronomy, and nature. If you are attentive, maybe you can get a caramelized cashew nut in our quiz!

This tour takes around 3h30minutes and you'll practically not notice the passage of time. With many stops in a 3,0km walk, no one gets tired and at some point, we make a refreshing stop to drink delicious natural juices.

We'll meet at Fortaleza's Central Market to discover:

  • The city's first square
  • The cathedral
  • Northeast Bank Cultural Center
  • Lion's Square
  • Ferreira's Square
  • The oldest building still standing
  • Aslaves' church
  • Rachel de Queiroz's statue
  • Art Station
  • Tourism Center
  • Martyr Square.

Hello. I am a Brazilian architect and urban planner who is delighted with urban tourism on foot. What I love to study is what I like to live and know when I'm on a trip, public spaces at the level of people. I already had the opportunity to visit many cities in some countries and that has led me to create my own free walking tour service in my original city, Fortaleza. When I'm not an architect and urban planner or a local guide, I love going to the movies, good food, anime, heavy metal, board games and having fun with friends.
