The Memorial das Conquistas at Vila Belmiro stadium is the official Santos FC museum, but most visitors come for one player. The display follows Pelé's life from his arrival as a 15-year-old in 1956 through three World Cup wins with Brazil and the long string of titles he won with Santos. Trophies, photographs, signed shirts, and short films make the case that he was, by some margin, the greatest player of all time.
You can usually combine the museum with a stadium tour that takes in the dressing rooms, the players' tunnel, and the pitch itself. Vila Belmiro is small by modern standards (capacity around 16,000) and that intimacy is part of its appeal. Open Tuesday to Sunday.
