The mandatory point of sightseeing Juazeiro do Norte is a hill Horto with 27-metres high statue of Padre Cícero. It is worth also to visit a few museums dedicated to the priest. From the city’s tumult you can rest in the park Arajara with well-developed infrastructure of pools and restaurants. Among urban sacral buildings we can distinguish two beautiful basilicas: St. Frances (Basilica de São Fransico) and Our Lady of Sorrows (Matriz de Nossa Senhora das Dores). To lovers of handmade craft and regional products we recommend visit to the Centre of Popular Culture Mestre Noza (Centro de Cultura Popular Mestre Noza), where they can observe work of artisans and sculptors.

What to eat in Juazeiro do Norte? Restaurants in the city offer dishes of various cuisines: both regional, and Italian and Arabic ones. To fans of Italian cuisine we recommend Pasto&Pizzas. If someone fancy typical Brazilian food, such as juicy beef and delicious steaks, he should definitely visit Mão de Vaca. In Sirigado do Pedro, for a bit higher prices, you can try, e.g. exquisitely prepared fish called sirigado, that stands out with delicate taste and very juicy meat.
