Workation in Petrópolis: the essentials

Emperor Pedro II spent his summers in Petrópolis and is buried in its cathedral; the town is named after him, and his palace now houses the Imperial Museum. It lies in a valley of the Órgãos Mountains at about 850 m, some 40 km north of Rio de Janeiro, and is noticeably cooler than the city below. With about 280,000 residents it is a real city rather than a resort, with a brewing tradition and national-park trails at its edge. Heavy summer rain is a serious hazard here, as the deadly landslides of February 2022 showed. Galeão International Airport is about 35 km away.
