Where to stay in Mário Quintana
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Mário Quintana joined the Porto Alegre plan in 1998, and the record credits the bairro with no monument, no museum and no cluster of hotels, which makes it a residential address rather than somewhere a traveller picks off a map. The name honours a poet. Flats and quiet streets are what a visitor actually finds, so a trip whose real subject is the Rio Grande do Sul capital keeps its base in Porto Alegre and comes out here only for a particular errand.

About Mário Quintana
What are the main landmarks in Mário Quintana?
No listing attaches here. The record gives Mário Quintana no church, park or memorial of its own, which leaves the name itself, carried from the poet honoured four years after his death, as the one distinguishing mark the bairro has. Streets, not sights.
The museum and park addresses a traveller collects in the Rio Grande do Sul capital all carry the names of other bairros of Porto Alegre.
What is the history of Mário Quintana?
December 22, 1998 created it. Porto Alegre passed a municipal law that day carving out a fresh bairro and attaching to it the name of Mário Quintana, the poet who had died four years earlier. The dedication came posthumously.
Anything older on this ground belongs to the account of Porto Alegre and of Rio Grande do Sul rather than to a division that reached the city plan at the end of the century.
Where is Mário Quintana?
The bairro of Mário Quintana forms part of Porto Alegre, one of the divisions the Rio Grande do Sul capital added late in the twentieth century.
