          In our second day we went for a walk…for like…the whole day. It was cardio day mostly 😅.  But it was a great opportunity for us to see more of this beautiful city.          The first destination was Jardins do Palacio de Cristal. Being autumn, you can imagine we couldn’t find so much of a flowery-green-garden, but for that time of the year, it was still pretty colorful and neat.

For the most of them we arrived too late to enter or just thought that the cost is too much and only studied the architecture from the outside and reading the outdoor panels  😅.  Because the city is pretty crowded in buildings, some of the pictures will not show the whole construction; but you can find more pictures online.  ...
