Rua Coberta (“Covered Street”) is the meeting point of downtown Gramado: a covered pedestrian street with restaurants and cafés that also hosts performances during the town’s big events.
Why include it
- It is right downtown, a few steps from Avenida Borges de Medeiros and the Igreja Matriz São Pedro.
- Being covered, it is one of the easiest outings on a rainy or cold day.
- During the Natal Luz season, the free official programme includes performances on the Rua Coberta stage — check times on the event’s official website.
How to enjoy it
Use Rua Coberta as your base to explore downtown on foot. It suits a late afternoon of shopping followed by dinner nearby. On public holidays and in high season, nearby restaurants may have queues: arrive early or book.
No car?
If you are staying downtown, this is your natural starting point. More in Gramado without a car.
Practical tips
- It gets busier at night; for photos of an empty street, go in the morning.
