Belém, often called Belém of Pará, is the capital and largest city of the state of Pará in the North of Brazil. It is the gateway to the Amazon River with a busy port, airport, and bus/coach station. Belém lies approximately 100 km upriver from the Atlantic Ocean, on the Pará River, which is part of the greater Amazon River system, separated from the larger part of the Amazon delta by Ilha de Marajó. With an estimated population of 1,398,531 people — or 2,491,052, considering its metropolitan area — it is the 12th most populous city in Brazil, as well as the 16th by economic relevance. It is the second largest in the North Region, second only to Manaus, in the state of Amazonas.

Belém is a city that is full of life and energy, with a fascinating history and a diverse mix of cultures. Its location at the mouth of the Amazon River has made it an important port city for centuries, and this has had a significant impact on its development and cultural identity.

One of the most iconic landmarks in Belém is the Estação das Docas, a beautifully restored 19th-century warehouse that has been converted into a cultural and entertainment center. Here, you can stroll along the waterfront promenade and admire the stunning views of the river while enjoying a drink or a meal at one of the many restaurants and bars.
