Where to stay in Mont'Serrat
Where the beds are, and what that means for the visit.
The choice on this hill is short: the streets around the Paróquia Nossa Senhora do Mont'Serrat, or a room down in central Porto Alegre with the hill as a day trip. Beds up here are few. Mont'Serrat is residential ground with a church and a museum rather than a hotel quarter, so most travellers who want it end up staying elsewhere in the Rio Grande do Sul capital and climbing to it.

About Mont'Serrat
What are the main landmarks in Mont'Serrat?
Two buildings carry the bairro. The Paróquia Nossa Senhora do Mont'Serrat holds the dedication that gave the quarter its name, and the Museu Anchieta de Ciências Naturais keeps natural-history collections in the same hilltop streets of Porto Alegre. Beyond those two, the bairro lists no catalogued sight, so a visit here is a short one built around the church and the museum.
What is the history of Mont'Serrat?
A law of 7 December 1959 gave Mont'Serrat its name and boundary, entering the hill quarter into the register of bairros that Porto Alegre maintains across its territory. The name travelled far. Catalonia supplied it, by way of the mountain there, and the Paróquia Nossa Senhora do Mont'Serrat carries the same dedication within the bairro.
Where is Mont'Serrat?
High ground sets Mont'Serrat apart within Porto Alegre, the hill under the bairro lifting it above the rest of the Rio Grande do Sul capital in Brazil.
