Soccer legend Pelé began his professional career at the astonishing age of 15 with Santos FC and stayed on for 19 glorious seasons. This museum, one of the principal attractions in Santos itself (besides the beach!), should be destination No. 1 for fans of the beautiful game. The permanent collection here contains nearly 2,500 personal items from the greatest soccer player ever to grace the sport, which rotate in and out of varying themed exhibitions. If you think you’re up for it, an interactive section allows you to compare your skills with the man himself. Boa sorte!
