Fundação Casa de Jorge Amado

Literary types shouldn't miss a quick visit to the Fundação Casa de Jorge Amado, offering an overview of the life of one of Brazil’s best-known writers. A wall of Amado’s book covers in every major language demonstrates his widespread popularity, while the museum cafe is a good place to grab a coffee and pastry. Most of the exhibits are in Portuguese, but you will find a few English and French translations here and there.
