Confeitaria Colombo

Confeitaria Colombo is a historic gem of Rio de Janeiro, founded in 1894 by Portuguese immigrants. This elegant patisserie impresses with its sumptuous Belle Époque and Art Nouveau-style interior, featuring marble, crystal mirrors from Belgium and stained-glass ceilings from France.

It's a place where Rio's elite met - writers, artists, musicians and politicians, and even Queen Elizabeth II. Today, visitors can enjoy traditional Brazilian and European baked goods in a setting that takes visitors back to the days of colonial aristocracy.

It's a real trip back in time for lovers of history, architecture and sweets.
