Perched on a narrow peninsula jutting into the Atlantic Ocean, Búzios is one of Brazil’s most enchanting destinations. Situated just east of Rio de Janeiro, the quiet fishing village was transformed into a playground for the rich and famous in the 1960s, as it became renowned as the favored getaway of Brigitte Bardot. Today, Búzios is one of Brazil’s most glamorous seaside resorts with three distinct districts each with their character. Situated at the peninsula’s eastern tip, the most enchanting district is undoubtedly Ossos, which retains an atmospheric old world charm with steep cobbled streets and colonial-era houses reminiscent of the Mediterranean. Beyond Búzios’ architectural charms, the peninsula offers the perfect opportunity to unwind on some of Brazil’s best beaches.
