Known for its industrial profile, Volta Redonda also stands out for its leisure and contact with nature. The city is home to the Açude de Santo Antônio Municipal Natural Park, a green haven ideal for walks, picnics and observation of native fauna and flora. Another highlight is the Municipal Zoo, one of the largest in the state of Rio de Janeiro, which attracts visitors from all over the region with its variety of animals and structure focused on environmental education.
In the sports field, the city pulsates with the energy of Volta Redonda Futebol Clube, Voltaço.
