Famous landmark in Teresina city!

(Translated by Google) I love flea markets, but the amount of product diversity is very small. (Original) Eu amo mercados de pulga, mas a quantidade de diversidade de produtos é muito pequena.

(Translated by Google) Old place for buying and selling bicycles and household appliances and utensils. (Original) Local antigo de compra e venda de bicicletas e aparelhos e utensílios domésticos.

(Translated by Google) Troca-troca is one of the best-known and most visited places by Teresina residents for a long time. On weekends, many people from the most varied regions come together, as well as from cities such as Altos União and surrounding areas, a place where you can find everything imaginable. (Original) Troca-troca é um dos locais mais conhecidos e visitados pelos teresinenses há bastante tempo nos finais de semana juntam-se várias pessoas das mais variadas regiões como também de cidades como Altos União e adjacências, local onde você encontra de tudo até o imaginável.

(Translated by Google) It is in a bad situation, there is no standardization of service, for customer service. There is no drinking fountain, the Parnaíba River, as shown in the photos, is quite dammed. We ask for attention from the competent authorities. (Original) Está numa situação ruim, não há uma padronização de serviço, pra o atendimento ao cliente. Falta bebedouro, o rio Parnaíba com aparece aí nas fotos, está bastante acoreado.

(Translated by Google) Located on Maranhão Avenue on the Parnaíba River pier overlooking Timom, Troca-Troca has been around for over 30 years. The fair, or market as some prefer to call it, was created by a few people who felt the need to sell or exchange new and used products, often without any money in return. You can find almost everything at Troca-Troca: bicycles, electronic products, gas cylinders, cell phones, household utensils and many other trinkets. Troca-Troca is part of Teresina's tourist route, and is therefore one of the oldest points in the city, forming part of Teresina's historic center. Every day, the fair receives thousands of people, both from the city and from the interior of the state. (Original) Localizado na Avenida Maranhão no cais do rio Parnaíba com vista para Timom, o Troca-Troca existe há mais de 30 anos. A feira ou mercadão como alguns preferem chamar surgiu da iniciativa de algumas pessoas que sentiram a necessidade de vender ou trocar produtos novos e usados, e muitas vezes, sem a contrapartida de dinheiro. No Troca-Troca encontra-se quase tudo: bicicletas, produtos eletroeletrônicos, botijão de gás, celulares, utensílios domésticos e muitas quinquilharias. O Troca-Troca faz parte do roteiro turístico de Teresina, sendo assim, um dos pontos mais antigos da cidade, fazendo parte do centro histórico teresinense. A feira recebe todo dia milhares de pessoas, tanto da cidade como do interior do estado.

(Translated by Google) It is a good option for those looking for equipment and devices with low cost-benefit, there you can really find everything, unfortunately it is poorly located, as the space is small for so many things that are being sold. (Original) É uma boa opção pra quem busca equipamentos e aparelhos com pequeno custo benefício, lá se encontra realmente de tudo, infelizmente mal localizado, pois o espaço é pequeno para tanta coisa que está sendo comercializada.

(Translated by Google) Historic cathedral in the city center, next to the Karnak Palace. I went on a weekend and it was closed to tourists (disappointing), but the nativity scene in the form of a string that decorated the outside of this church stole my heart. Visited in December/24. (Original) Catedral histórica na região central da cidade, ao lado do palácio de Karnak. Fui durante um final de semana e estava fechada para turistas (desapontador), todavia o presépio em forma de cordel que decorou a área externa dessa igreja arrematou meu coração. Visita em dezembro/24.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful church, it delights the heart. But more vigilance is needed around the church, more guards. (Original) Igreja lindíssima, encanta o coração Mas é preciso mais vigilância ao redor da igreja, mais guardas

A great place with a lot ot history :) Just 5 reals, middle for students

Love the architecture, but most of all the history of Piauí shown in the artefacts and pictures. Very interesting.

Don't waste your time. Place is dingy and falling in pieces. A disgrace.

The best Hotel I know in Teresina. Nice and comfy rooms and a nice restaurant at the lounge make it a pleasant stay when visiting Teresina. It is well located in the city. They are not five stars and the lounge entrance suggests, but they try. Employees are very kind. The food is not cheap, but it is well served quality food. They make good Caipirinhas at the bar as well. There is parking available. Close by there are restaurants, grocery store, pharmacy etc. There is also a swimming pool to refresh yourself from the hot weather of the city. Air conditioning is also good in the rooms.

Very nice hotel. Staff were extremely helpful as we had a last minute booking. Room was great, very good shower and amenities. The hotel itself is very pleasant and at International standards. A pity that hotels in Piaui can be more expensive than other more tourist cities in Brazil. I would definitely recommend Metropolitan for International guests.

Very nice hotel. Especially for the area. Not to many English speaking employees though. After weeks in the rural areas the showers were awesome.

Beautiful building - eating space was nicely embellished. Professional customer service. Quiet environment - excellent for conversation. Food was good.

Kind and attentive staff, good A/C, fair sized room with good views. The room could use an update, considering the price. Good breakfast.

By far, the best hotel in the city. The only service that don't deserve the good rating is internet conection (a problem in whole country).

Good hotel with nice location in Teresina but it is totally overpriced for what it offers.

excellent!!!

(Translated by Google) I loved the hotel. Great value! The breakfast was excellent, simple yet complete. My room was comfortable and had air conditioning, which is very important as the city is very hot. However, I would suggest a more thorough cleaning of the bathrooms. The location is very central, so there aren't many bars or restaurants, but it didn't bother me. The hotel is very quiet and great for people taking exams, as they provide study tables in the room. In short: My experience was great. I would come back again. (Original) Adorei o hotel. Ótimo custo-benefício!! O café da manhã é ótimo, simples, porém, completo. O meu quarto era confortável e tinha ar-condicionado, muito importante, pois a cidade é muito quente. No entanto, gostaria de sugerir uma limpeza mais minuciosa nos banheiros dos quartos. A localização é bem central, então não têm muitos barzinhos ou restaurantes, mas não foi algo que me deixou incomodada. O hotel é muito silencioso e ótimo para pessoas que vão fazer concursos, pois eles disponibilizam mesinhas para estudo no quarto. Resumindo: Minha experiência foi ótima. Voltaria outras vezes.

(Translated by Google) The Teresina Cultural Center, inaugurated on August 12, 1994, occupies a building constructed between 1870 and 1880 by Mr. João do Rego Monteiro, the Baron of Gurguéia (1809-1897), as his and his family's residence. According to historians, in addition to being a residence, the house also served as a barracks and infirmary. Between 1906 and 1911, Monsignor Joaquim d'Almeida installed a Seminary in the building and, in 1913, the Baron's heirs sold the building to the Diocese of Teresina, which continued to operate the Seminary. (Original) Casa da Cultura de Teresina, inaugurada em 12 de agosto de 1994, ocupa uma edificação construída entre 1870 e 1880, pelo Sr. João do Rego Monteiro, o Barão de Gurguéia (1809-1897), para sua residência e família. Segundo historiadores, além de residência, a casa serviu também como quartel e enfermaria. Entre 1906 e 1911, o Monsenhor Joaquim d’Almeida instalou um Seminário no prédio e, em 1913, os herdeiros do Barão venderam o prédio para a Diocese de Teresina, que deu continuidade ao Seminário.

(Translated by Google) During the day it's a luxury. But when I went, I didn't even see what it was like properly. I only went to the first room. The advantage is that it's air-conditioned. The front and the entire street nearby. Absolute darkness. I couldn't even see what was nearby. (Original) Durante o dia é um luxo. Mas quando fui. Nem vi como era direito. Fui apenas na primeira sala. Vantagem que é refrigerada. A frente e toda a rua próxima. Escuridão absoluta. Que não vi nem o que tinha próximo. ,
