A panoramic drive takes you through the historical city center of Santos to the Coffee Museum. The former palace in which it is located was built in 1922, celebrating 100 years of Brazilian independence. The museum is called the Coffee Trade Palace or Palacio da Bolsa do Café.
Continue to Maua Square and board a tram for a ride through the main streets of Santos. Watch for historical buildings and landmarks en route. Outeiro de Santa Catarina is the hill that marks the foundation of the Vila de Santos settlement, and the São Paulo Water Company headquarters is housed in Palácio Saturnino.
Return to the pier by way of Gonzaga Beach, bordered by hotels and high-rise condominiums.
