Bonfim District

Cool and creative, yet authentic.

In Focus

The Bonfim District is a true example of the city's cultural diversity. From its traditional houses, adorned with tiled facades and wrought iron balconies, this district has reinvented itself, transforming into an open-air gallery. Today, it is regarded by many as one of the coolest neighborhoods in the world.
