Ilha de Paquetá  (Paquetá Island)
The many charms of Guanabara Bay include this tiny island (just over one square kilometre) on which automobiles are banned. The island is also known as the Island of Love. Both residents and visitors must travel by bicycle or horse-drawn carriage along gravelled streets lined with bright royal poincianas. It can easily be accessed by ferry or hovercraft, which run regularly from the Praça Quinze de Novembro Square.
