Lonely Planet review

This eye-catching lime-green, neo-gothic palace sitting in the Baía de Guanabara looks like something out of a child's fairy tale book. It was designed by engineer Adolfo del Vecchio and completed in 1889. Originally used to supervise port operations, the palace is famous as the location of the last Imperial Ball on 9 November 1889. Today it's open for guided tours three times a day from Thursday to Sunday; tours leave from the dock near Praça Quinze (usually by boat, but sometimes by van).
