Quinta da Boa Vista, Public park and former imperial residence in São Cristóvão, Brazil

Quinta da Boa Vista is a public park in the São Cristóvão district of Rio de Janeiro that covers roughly 52 hectares (128 acres) of gardens, lakes, and green spaces surrounding a neoclassical palace. The complex sits in the northern part of the city and also houses the National Museum in one of the main buildings.

The land was a Jesuit farm until the order's expulsion in 1759, when it was split among private owners. Around 1803 Elias António Lopes built a manor on the hill, and in 1808 he donated the estate to Prince Regent John VI, who made it the royal residence. John Johnston renovated the house between 1816 and 1821; after the republic was declared, the palace stood empty until the National Museum moved in in 1892.

The name Boa Vista (Good View) comes from the view of Guanabara Bay seen from the hill where Elias António Lopes built his manor around 1803. The estate later became the residence of the Portuguese royal family and then the Brazilian emperors. Today the former palace houses the National Museum, and the grounds also hold the Rio de Janeiro Zoo, opened in 1945.

The park opens daily and provides access to recreational areas, walking paths, and pedal boat rentals on the lakes for visitors of all ages. The main paths are wide enough for wheelchairs and strollers, though some sections cross uneven terrain.

The decorative gate at the zoo entrance is a wedding gift from General Hugh Percy, 2nd Duke of Northumberland, to Prince Pedro and Maria Leopoldina of Austria in 1816. It was modelled on Robert Adam's portico for Sion House in England and cast in Coade stone, a terracotta-like ceramic made by the firm Coade & Sealy. It is listed by IPHAN.
