The Museum of Tomorrow asks you to imagine the next 50 years — and Rio's waterfront is where you start

You get hotel pickup, entry to the Museum of Tomorrow, and a bilingual guide who walks you through galleries about sustainability, coexistence, and the future. The tour includes transport along Rio's waterfront and runs in the morning or afternoon on the day you choose. Confirmation arrives the evening before, so you know exactly when to be ready.

Step-by-step itinerary

  • Explore the Museum of Tomorrow
  • Walk along Orla Mayor Luiz Paulo Conde

The Experience

You're standing in front of a building that looks like it's floating. The Museum of Tomorrow sits on the Orla Conde, a 3.5-kilometer boardwalk along Guanabara Bay, and the first thing that hits you is that it doesn't feel like a typical science museum. There's no dusty glass cases or roped-off exhibits. Instead, the space is built around two big ideas: sustainability and coexistence. Your guide — bilingual in English, Spanish and Portuguese — walks you through galleries that aren't really about the past. They're about what comes next, the paths we could take over the next fifty years, the choices that matter right now.

The tour runs twice daily, morning and afternoon, and the whole thing moves at a pace that lets you actually think instead of just tick boxes. Your guide explains the exhibits, but the real work is yours — the museum is designed to make you ask questions, not just absorb answers. You're not alone; it's a shared group tour, which means you'll move through with other travelers, but the guide keeps things conversational enough that it doesn't feel crowded. The building itself is part of the experience. It's modern, angular, and it sits right on the water, so between galleries you catch views of the bay and the city beyond.

Transport is handled for you — a licensed car picks you up from your hotel (except Barra da Tijuca and Recreio), and the driver gets you to the museum and back. The ticket is included, so you walk in without stopping at a counter. Rain or shine, the tour happens; the museum stays open either way, and your guide adjusts the pace if the weather turns. The day before your tour, they'll confirm the exact pickup time via WhatsApp or the booking platform, so you're not guessing in the morning.

What’s included

  • Museum of Tomorrow entry ticket.
