"Visitamos a Câmara Municipal de Petrópolis-RJ, mas não conseguimos entrar para visitação. O que eu posso dizer é que por fora,como todos as edificações de Petrópolis-RJ, ele é muito suntuoso e bonito,rico em detalhes da arquitetura da época. Vale à pena pelo menos o registro 😉."

"A Câmara Municipal fica praticamente de frente para o Museu Imperial, se você estiver com tempo, pode aproveitar e acrescentar no roteiro, mas não é uma atração imperdível em Petrópolis.
Assim como na maior parte da cidade, o estacionamento na rua é rotativo. Em frete à Câmara há uma grande área gramada, onde alguns grupos de pessoas aproveitam para se reunir."
