We visited in April 2019 & what strikes you as you approach the steps are the amazing murals leading up to the stairs. This just adds to the colours of the stairs itself which are fairly steep. Not easy to get a photo as everyone is trying to get one especially where the Rio name & Selaron name is. It is less busy further up. It's a fairly narrow corridor but very pretty. Quite a few vendors around selling souvenirs & food as well as a couple of smaller restaurants , an icon of Rio & a must visit. Some interesting history about the artist who created the stairs & the baths he filled to create part of the stairs.
Colorful and Authentic
A beautiful colorful Brazilian experience, these steps are full of locals and tourists. I highly recommend this as a daytime excursion... you'll experience Brazil's diversity and possibly hear many languages too!
Great souvenir store. You can find a little of everything from Rio here. The best part are the cachaças! Here you can taste them before buying and they have exotic flavors like: açaí, corn, and other Brazilian fruits and nuts. Great and courteous workers too. If you're in Rio, I'm a local guide here.

It is a national art Museum located in the city of Rio de Jenerio, Brazil. The museum, officially established in 1937 by the initiative of education minister Gustavo Capanema, was inaugurated in 1938 by President Getúlio Vargas. The museum collection, on the other hand, takes its rise in the transfer of the Portuguese court to Brazil in the early 19th century, when King John VI brought along with him part of the Portuguese Royal Collection. This art collection stayed in Brazil after the King's return to Europe and became the core collection of the National School of Fine Arts. When the museum was created in 1937, it became the heir not only the National School collection, but also of its headquarters, a 1908 eclectic style building projected by Spanish architect Adolfo Morales de los Ríos.
