Boulevard Olímpico

This guide to Boulevard Olimpico in Rio follows the waterfront promenade built after the elevated Perimetral highway, which had walled downtown off from the harbor for decades, was torn down before 2016. You'll hear about the roller-skating tours that glide the route past the Museum of Tomorrow and a giant aquarium, and about the mural along the way credited as the largest graffiti artwork on earth. The guide follows how a highway corridor became a place built purely for moving through under your own power.
