You will learn a lot about Ceará and the history of their people, religion, traditions and even toys. It is a very nice place to visit.

I was there in December/12 and unfortunately can not say much, as most of the attractions were closed. It seems to be a rich place for local culture and I didn´t see much in English... might be boring for foreigns. If you´re around, take a short walk to the Municipal Market, they sell everyhting there from local food, handcraft and... More

We have been there to see the monument and an exhibition about Brazilian toys. No explanations in English... I think it would have not been a difference, if I haven't gone there.

This attraction in Fortaleza was shut everytime we visited it during the day. There didn't appear to be very much there, which is a pity. I have heard the restaurants and bars nearby are good in the evening. I wouldn't go out of my way to visit it - there are better places to spend your time.

An interesting cultural center located behind the Iracema beach and close to the downtown area. Unfortunately there is very little cultural events going on. The Café Santa Clara, with an organic coffee and many little bars surrounding the area is a good stop for a snack, specially at night, if you want lo listen good music.

Not to be confused with that other 'Dragão do Mar', because that's a gay sauna, just around the corner ;-) Fortaleza is not so attractive. The center does even scare me a bit. But maybe that's because I am always in the car of my friends instead of strolling and breathing the real Fortaleza spirit. This Cultural Center is an... More

If you are in Fortaleza, you have to go to Dragão do Mar. Lots of places to eat and life music.
