Gamboa, Port neighborhood in Central Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
The neighborhood extends along the Guanabara Bay shoreline, with streets lined by colonial buildings and local businesses in Central Rio.
The district was originally settled by aristocrats in the early 1800s before transforming into a maritime trade center during Rio's port expansion.
The English Cemetery, founded in 1811, marks British influence in Rio and contains graves of merchants, diplomats, and sailors from the colonial period.
Multiple bus lines connect Gamboa to other Rio districts, while the nearby VLT tram system provides direct access to Santos Dumont Airport.
The neighborhood retains original cobblestone streets and colonial mansions that display architectural elements from Portuguese, British, and Brazilian influences.
