Where to stay in Auxiliadora
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Few beds sit inside this bairro. Auxiliadora is a residential bairro of Porto Alegre, and visitors who base themselves in it trade the hotel clusters of the wider city for quiet streets around the Paróquia Nossa Senhora Auxiliadora. Casa Boni and the Museu Virtual Memória da Propaganda give the area its small civic pull.
If you want an ordinary Porto Alegre address rather than a sightseeing base, Auxiliadora fits.
About Auxiliadora
What are the main landmarks in Auxiliadora?

A municipal law of 1959 gave Auxiliadora its formal standing as a bairro of Porto Alegre, capital of the state of Rio Grande do Sul. The parish supplied the name. Paróquia Nossa Senhora Auxiliadora had already marked the quarter for the people living around it.
