Description

Gramado is a municipality in Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil, sitting at 850 meters elevation in the mountains. The streets are lined with German-style buildings, gardens, and slopes that run through all neighborhoods.

History

The settlement was founded by German and Italian immigrants and became an independent municipality on December 15, 1954. This development transformed the small village into a tourist center of the region.

Culture

The Festival de Gramado presents Latin American cinema each August, making the city a center for film appreciation in South America. Visitors experience the European architecture as a backdrop for this important film festival.
