About this experience

Parque da Cidade sits on top of Morro da Viração, at about 270 metres, in Niterói. From here you see Rio face on: Sugarloaf, Christ the Redeemer, the bridge and the mouth of Guanabara Bay. The paragliding flight is calmer than in São Conrado and usually has a shorter wait. You can combine it with a stop at Oscar Niemeyer's Museum of Contemporary Art.
