Santos is one of the most famous cities in Brazil and there are a number of reasons why. It has some of the most glorious beaches in the country, something Brazil is famous for as a nation. Another is that Brazilian football legend Pelé played for the local football team, Santos Futebol Club, there is a statue erected in the city in his honour. The city also made the Guinness World Records for the largest beachfront ornamental garden. You can drive the length of the coastline if you hire a car in Santos, there are plenty of parking spots along the front to give you chance to have a beach day on your trip.
The Beach Edge Gardens are an award winning feature of the area, these are a must on your trip to Santos, and you can have a relaxing afternoon in the sun here and enjoy the beautiful natural vegetation. One of the most beautiful churches here, which is also located on the seafront, is St Anthony Embare Basilica and this attraction should be on every travellers must see list. If you are a football or sports fan, the Pelé Museum is also worth visiting so you can get an idea of how revered this sporting legend is in Brazil. If you want to see all of these attractions conveniently then we recommend hiring a car in Santos.
