Rua da Praia, Historic commercial street in Centro, Porto Alegre, Brazil.
The 1.5-kilometer pedestrian street runs through downtown Porto Alegre, featuring stone pavements, shops, cafes, and architectural structures from different periods.
Established in 1772 along the Guaíba River banks, the street initially called Rua da Graça received its current name Rua dos Andradas in 1865.
The intersection known as Democratic Corner serves as a gathering point for public demonstrations, political rallies, and social movements in Porto Alegre.
The street contains multiple bus stops, shopping centers, banks, and restaurants, making it a central point for both residents and visitors.
Despite its official name change to Rua dos Andradas, locals maintain the traditional name Rua da Praia, reflecting its original proximity to the river.
