As a visiting cat, I found that Niteroi can be quite pricey for souvenirs and shopping. Prices for food and transportation were reasonable, but overall a bit on the expensive side.

Consider bringing some extra cash for shopping in Niteroi's local markets and supporting local artists and artisans. Also, take advantage of public transportation to save money on getting around the city.
