WOW! The views from up here are insane, we had the lovely surprised of seeing monkey which was fun. The worse part is the crowds, we were here early morning like 8am & it was unfortunately crazy jammed packed so many people it's annoying & u pretty much just kinda deal with it. There's a gift shop, bathrooms & area for drinks. This was amazing to see in person, the crist statue, the insane views it really gives u such perspective at the beauty around u. Definitely worth the visit & one of those things that I would say are a must see.

Three levels of books. Old books. Dark wood interior decor. Tables for you to sit and research or read or just take in the stained glass designs and the roof detail work. They have some special items on display - sadly most are in portuguese only.You are not allowed to touch the books...but if you need to research on specific items, you can ask the people that work there for assistance.
