  It is for a quick visit to see the exterior and inteior part of it! And still works as a library where you can actually borrow books to read!

  I never thought I could find such a beautiful place near the craziest part of town! It's beautiful and impressive, you feel like you travel back in time the moment you step in. It's free and quite quick to visit, it only opens on weekdays. Loved it!

  Built in 1837 this charming little royal library is absolutely worth a visit. You will be able to boast to have seen something most people of this city have never even heard about.

  This is a great little gem. The neighborhood surrounding it is very nice and the library itself is outstanding. It is so old, and the books are so well preserved. The glass ceiling is so nice as well.

  Beautiful, almost magical. You may even check the catalog, ask for a book, and spend some time reading it there.

  If you are visiting Rio, in the Centro, this library is well worth the visit. In my opinion is one of the most beautiful buildings in the city. Inside is ever better. On top of it, it is free, so I would advise everybody to do a small detour and go over there.

  This library's beauty is comparable to those of the Library in Coimbra, Portugal, and St. Gallen in Switzerland. This is an amazing piece of architecture, one of Rio's most significant historical buildings and collections, in my opinion. If you treasure visiting old libraries as I do, this is definetly one of the most impressive libraries I have ever visited.

  The building is really beautifull and internally is something special! Miss more touristic information and trained people to guide or better indicate the visit. Books could be better preserved. No bathrooms working when we did the visit.Anyway, it is a nice place to be visited in Rio, I recomend!

  This is more than a library, this is history, to see to smell and to appreciate. The structure of the building with the exposed iron and the vast collection of works is truly inspiring.
