Fodor's Expert Review Parque da Residência
Belem
City Park
For decades this was the official residence of the governor of Pará; now it provides office space for the Secretaria de Cultura (SECULT; Executive Secretary of Culture), as well as public space. Within the park are a 400-seat theater, an orchid conservatory, an ice-cream parlor, a restaurant, and shaded spots to relax and soak in the atmosphere.
