This family's experience:

Activities: We discovered the Vista Alegre porcelain factory, a real village in the city. The museum is very well done, with explanations in French in all the rooms. We saw pieces that are, for some, real works of art

Highlights: We loved the museum! The buildings, under the beautiful sunshine, are resplendent in their white robes. We even observed several storks on the high chimneys! The small chapel was also remarkable, with its murals and azulejos ✨
