About Gramado
Located along Brazil's Rota Romântica, or Romantic Route, the quaint city of Gramado in Brazil's southeast corner is a lovely spot for a relaxing city break. Surrounded by lush forests, dramatic waterfalls and peaceful lakes, the city is ideal for those wanting to enjoy the area's natural beauty but still enjoy the creature comforts of being in a relatively built-up area. The accommodation choice is equally broad with the best places to stay in Gramado ranging from rustic guesthouses to luxury suites.
Originally occupied by Portuguese immigrants in 1875, Gramado then received a subsequent influx of German and Italian inhabitants. The German influence can easily be seen in the city's architecture, with plenty of turreted, Alpine-style, timber-framed buildings dotted around.
This unexpected display of traditional rural European architecture right in the middle of South America gives Gramado a unique, charming vibe. And that's not the only throwback to the city's European past. Wander along the streets and you'll pick up more than a few whiffs of chocolate - chocolate fondues are big in this part of Brazil, especially during the chilly winter months.
Gramado is one of those places that's equally as impressive no matter the season. In winter, it's a cosy hideaway with wonderful spas and great food to enjoy - in summer, it's the perfect gateway to some of Brazil's loveliest countryside. Either way, it's a splendid option.
Given its many charms, the best places to stay in Gramado get quickly booked up - book well in advance to avoid disappointment.
