The architecture in Santos combines traditional Portuguese tiles with industrial-style renovations, creating a charming contrast. Old buildings with azulejos (hand-painted tiles) and wrought-iron balconies line the streets, while repurposed warehouses now host galleries, cafes, and co-working spaces.
Santos also has a beautiful waterfront along the Tagus River, and this proximity gives it a relaxed, maritime feel. You'll find locals strolling or biking along the river, particularly at sunset. Additionally, the nearby Cais do Sodré area and Time Out Market are within walking distance, offering some of the city's best food spots and nightlife.
