Monte Serrat: A Must-See in Santos

One of the top attractions in Santos is Monte Serrat, a hill in the heart of Santos that has a mix of history, culture, and stunning views. Getting to the top is easy: you can ride the historic funicular, a cable car system that’s been running since 1927, or take on the challenge of climbing the 402 steps. The ride up the funicular takes just 4 minutes and  offers great views on the way up.

Once at the top, you’ll find the Chapel of Nossa Senhora do Monte Serrat, an important religious landmark, as well as the former casino, which operated from 1927 to 1946. Today, the preserved building is used for cultural events and also houses a charming cafeteria where you can enjoy a coffee, snack, or lunch while enjoying the incredible view.

Monte Serrat is also a fantastic spot for taking pictures. The panoramic views of Santos and the coastline make it a must-visit for anyone looking to capture stunning shots for Instagram. Whether you’re into history, taking in the scenery, or just enjoying a good coffee with a view, Monte Serrat is a place you won’t want to miss when visiting Santos.
