Glória

Rio de Janeiro
Compact, quiet Glória is named for the baroque Igreja da Glória that crowns a hilltop above Guanabara Bay. The church overlooks elegant art deco buildings, the yachts of Marina da Glória and verdant Flamengo Park. Cycle and walking paths lead to the Museu de Arte Moderna (MAM), known for its 20th-century Brazilian art, while over at the Feira da Glória market, stalls sell fruit, spices, cheese and tapioca snacks.
