Belem, Brazil Cruise Port

Located where the Amazon River meets the Atlantic, Belem pulses with energy, history, and tropical beauty. Its colorful colonial architecture, tree-shaded plazas, and lively markets reflect a rich blend of Portuguese, Indigenous, and Afro-Brazilian influences. The city’s waterfront, lined with boats and shaded by mango trees, is always buzzing with local life. A must-visit is Ver-o-Peso Market, one of the largest open-air markets in South America, where you can sample exotic fruits, spices, herbs, and Amazonian delicacies. Belem is also known for its bold, flavorful cuisine—think grilled fish, acai served savory style, and fragrant stews infused with rainforest ingredients like jambu and tucupi. With its unique cultural mix, dynamic food scene, and access to the lush surrounding rainforest, Belem offers a true taste of Brazil’s northern soul—authentic, colorful, and full of life.

Top Things to Do in Belém, Brazil

Explore the Ver-o-Peso Market

A vibrant, wide angle landscape view of the historic Ver o Peso Market complex in Belém, Pará, situated on the Guajará Bay near the mouth of the Amazon River. The scene features the market's main colonial era buildings, including the distinctive green Iron Market (Mercado de Ferro) structure, alongside a busy waterfront where numerous colorful wooden fishing boats are docked, reflecting the Amazonian commerce.

Kickstart your day with a visit to the iconic Ver-o-Peso Market (Mercado Ver-o-Peso), one of the largest open-air markets in Latin America. This bustling waterfront market is a sensory overload in the best way possible, showcasing the incredible bounty of the Amazon. You'll find everything from exotic fruits, fresh fish, and medicinal herbs to regional handicrafts and potent "love potions." It's a fantastic place to observe local life, try unique flavors, and capture vibrant photographs.

Tip: Arrive in the morning to witness the market at its most lively. Don't be afraid to try samples of fruits or juices offered by vendors.

Wander through Estação das Docas

An aerial view of the Estação das Docas, a renovated port area in Belém, Brazil. The complex features three large warehouses with red roofs and a riverside promenade lined with restaurants, shops, and yellow industrial cranes. The area is situated along the banks of the Guajará Bay, with the cityscape of Belém visible in the background.

Just a short walk from Ver-o-Peso Market, you'll find Estação das Docas. This beautifully restored port complex, once a hub for the rubber trade, has been transformed into a vibrant cultural and gastronomic center. It features three warehouses housing a variety of restaurants, bars, craft shops, and a brewery. It’s an ideal spot to relax, enjoy a meal with a view of Guajará Bay, or grab an Amazonian-flavored ice cream from Sorveteria Cairu.

Tip: This is a great place for lunch, offering a safe and pleasant environment to try local dishes. Consider trying a craft beer from the local brewery.

Discover the Mangal das Garças

An aerial view of Mangal das Garças Naturalistic Park in Belém, Brazil. The image shows a lush green park with a central tower and landscaped gardens next to the Guamá River. The cityscape of Belém is visible in the distance, with the park acting as an urban oasis.

Next, head to Mangal das Garças, a stunning zoobotanical park located in the heart of Belém's Cidade Velha (Old City). This urban oasis is home to a variety of Amazonian birds, including beautiful flamingos and herons (garças, which the park is named after). Stroll through its lush gardens, visit the butterfly house, and climb the observation tower for panoramic views of the city, the Guamá River, and the surrounding mangroves.

Tip: Entry to the park is free, though there is a small fee for certain attractions like the observation tower and butterfly house. Catch the herons' feeding times for an impressive display.

Visit the Basilica Sanctuary of Our Lady of Nazareth

The neoclassical façade of the Cathedral Nossa Senhora de Belém in the city of Guarapuava, Paraná, Brazil.

Experience the grandeur of the Basilica Sanctuary of Our Lady of Nazareth (Basílica Santuário de Nossa Senhora de Nazaré), one of Belém's most beautiful churches. Built in a neoclassical style, its impressive architecture and ornate interiors are a sight to behold. This basilica is central to the annual Círio de Nazaré, one of Brazil's largest religious festivals.

Tip: Take some time to admire the intricate details inside and outside the basilica.

Explore the Feliz Lusitânia Complex & Forte do Presépio

A close up view of the historic Portuguese colonial style building facades in the Feliz Lusitânia complex in Belém, Pará, Brazil. The multi story structures are painted in vibrant colors, featuring detailed architectural elements such as ornate iron balconies and ceramic tiles, characteristic of the city's rich Amazonian architecture from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Step back in time at the Feliz Lusitânia Complex, a cluster of historic buildings located near the waterfront. This area includes the Forte do Presépio (Nativity Fort), which was the first construction in Belém's history, dating back to 1616. Inside the fort, you'll find the Museum of Encounters, which explores the history of Portuguese colonization and indigenous cultures. Nearby, the Casa das Onze Janelas (House of Eleven Windows) is an 18th-century mansion now serving as a modern art museum.

Tip: From the fort, you'll get excellent views of Guajará Bay and the Ver-o-Peso Market area, offering great photo opportunities.

Savor Local Amazonian Cuisine

A traditional Amazonian fish dish (Patarashca) cooked and served inside a folded banana leaf, presented on a rustic plate with a side of white rice and slices of fried plantain.

Belém is a UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy, renowned for its unique blend of Amazonian ingredients, Portuguese influences, and African traditions. Beyond Peking Duck, you must try local specialties.

Tip: Don't hesitate to try unique flavors! Many restaurants in Estação das Docas and near the markets offer authentic local cuisine.
