Hello Local Guides, how are you?
My name is Igor Leitao. I’m a lawyer from Fortaleza, Brazil.
I love knowing new places, and Local Guide is a tool to rate them and help other people to know them too, as I do. It’s also a way to make friends and to have fun.
Fortaleza is known as the “Sun Land”, because of the hot and sunny weather. I love this city! And another thing I love is taking pictures. So I thought… why not put those two things together?
So I share with you cool places to take pictures. And the best of it: all of them are FREE to go! Cool, huh?
- Fortaleza Metropolitan Cathedral
It’s a beautiful place. Awesome architecture. Great to visit and know the beauties of the place. I can tell you by my own experience: if you take a picture there, it’s going to be great. You won’t regret it! If you are a Catholic, it’s even more amazing.
- Dragão do Mar Center of Art and Culture
It’s a place projected for culture difusion, and the entrance is free. To get into the Planetarium, it has a R$ 10 fee per person; students pay half-price. It’s perfect for who just wants to hang with friends, or those who love taking pictures.
- Jardim Japonês
Located at Beira Mar, it’s a cool ambient to know, sit down and talk with friends. We can take great pictures there due to its architecture and vegetation. After the visitation, you can walk nearby to 50 Sabores Ice Cream Store.
- Praça dos Mártires (Passeio Público)
It’s a nature life saving area at Downtown Fortaleza. Great place to have a picnic with friends. I enjoy going there with friends in the morning and then have lunch in a very good restaurant. It’s also possible to take great pictures.
I made a list at Google Maps of these and other places you must know! You can check it here.
I hope you have enjoyed the tips! Fortaleza is a great city and there’s lots of places to know. And Google Local Guide can help you!
