About Agronomia
Where to stay in Agronomia
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Few beds sit near the campus. Agronomia is a teaching and residential quarter of Porto Alegre, and the pull for anyone staying is academic rather than touristic, with the Institute of Geosciences of the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul at its centre. The Museu de Topografia Prof.
Laureano Ibrahim Chaffe sits alongside it. If you are visiting the university rather than the city, Agronomia puts you at the door.

What is the history of Agronomia?
Agronomia came later than most Porto Alegre bairros. A municipal law of 1976 created the district, and the city revised its limits twice afterwards, in 1990 and again in 1997. Boundaries here were unsettled.
The Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul holds part of the bairro's ground, and the geosciences institute stands among the addresses the 1976 law enclosed.
