Laranjeiras, Upper-middle-class residential neighborhood in South Zone, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

The neighborhood extends along the valley near Corcovado Mountain, featuring tree-lined streets, colonial mansions, and modern apartment buildings spanning several blocks.

The area transformed from rural orange groves in the 17th century into an elegant residential district, with construction of country houses around the Carioca River.

Parque Guinle attracts residents with its French-style landscaping, small lake, and weekly Saturday morning fair offering fresh produce and live Choro music.

The Palácio Guanabara, current seat of Rio de Janeiro state government, opens its neo-classical buildings and gardens for scheduled guided tours.

The Estádio das Laranjeiras hosted Brazil's first international football match in 1914, where the national team defeated Exeter City with a score of 2-0.
