Where to stay in Agronomia
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
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.
