João Pessoa

Estação Cabo Branco: Science, Culture and Arts

Designed by Oscar Niemeyer atop the Cabo Branco cliff, the Science, Culture and Arts Station holds exhibitions, a viewing deck and modernist architecture.

Short answer

Who designed the Estação Cabo Branco?

Oscar Niemeyer. The complex was conceived as the Science, Culture and Arts Station, on top of the Cabo Branco cliff.

Staying in Cabo Branco? We manage 11 buildings in the neighbourhood, with our own team on the ground and direct booking, with no platform fee.

How to get there

It is in Altiplano Cabo Branco, about 15 minutes by car from the seafront. There is on-site parking and the area is well served by ride-hailing apps.

It is worth checking opening days and hours before you go — the programme changes with the exhibitions on show.

What to see

Beyond the architecture, the venue holds rotating science and art exhibitions, and a viewing deck that opens onto the cliff and the ocean.

The visit usually works best in late afternoon, when the light flatters photographs and the heat eases.

Combine it with the lighthouse

The Estação and the Cabo Branco Lighthouse are on the same side of the city and fit into the same outing.

A common route is to start at the Estação, drop down to the Cabo Branco seafront and end the day at the Ponta do Seixas viewpoint.

We work with local partners in João Pessoa for airport transfers, guided tours and car rental. Tell us what you'd like to do and we'll point you to the right one.
