Built in 1999, the Orla Bardot Boardwalk surrounds the Armação Beach, one of the most bucolic of Búzios. The landscaping work is nice and simple, with wooden decks, preserved vegetation typical of the region, benches and the stone floor, all this surrounded by the sea.
The Boardwalk is named after French actress Brigitte Bardot, who came to Búzios 1964 and turned the place into a popular international tourist destination. The beautiful local gardens are complemented by bronze sculptures that depict important people who have visited the city, such as Brigitte.
Taking a walk along the boardwalk, you can enjoy large colonial-style mansions, historic buildings and the colorful fishing boats, a signature of the place. There are also great restaurants, ice cream parlors and souvenir shops, in addition to a craft fair next to the pier of the Armação beach.
The Boardwalk is quiet during the day, but it gets busy at night, as it concentrates several bars and nightclubs.
