All about Río de Janeiro tourism



Rio de Janeiro is one of Brazil’s largest cities and a UNESCO recognized treasure trove of nature, architecture, history, and beaches. Rio de Janeiro tourism centers around its world-famous Carnival celebrations, iconic beaches like Copacabana and Ipanema, and amazing setting between the mountains and the coast. With the buzz generated by the World Cup and Olympics in Brazil, there has never been a better time to start planning your holidays to Rio de Janeiro.

Ideally, your Rio de Janeiro vacation should fall at the end of Feburary to enjoy Carnival, but thanks to its tropical climate, you can travel to Rio de Janeiro year-round. If you’re flying into the Galeão - Antônio Carlos Jobim International Airport, taxis are the most common form of transportation to the city center but there are also regular buses to take passengers to the downtown area, main bus stations, and several popular neighborhoods.

When you visit Rio de Janeiro, your first stop should be a visit to the Christ the Redeemer statue, named one of the wonders of the world. It’s located atop Corcovado and has one of the most amazing views you’ll find not only during your trip to Rio de Janeiro, but anywhere on Earth! You can get there via a wonderful hike through Tijuca National Park or on a specialized train. Also don’t miss a chance to catch a cable car to the top of Sugar Loaf, Rio’s iconic monolith mountain, to enjoy a different perspective.

If you want a taste of local life during your holidays in Rio de Janeiro, head to Ipanema beach, the nerve-center of the city, or visit the bohemian Santa Teresa neighborhood. More adventurous types choose to hire a guide and visit the hillside favelas during their Rio de Janeiro trip in order to get some of the best local cuisine and views found anywhere in the city. All in all, Rio is one of the friendliest and most colorful cities on Earth, and we have plenty of tips from real travelers to help you have a perfect holiday to Rio de Janeiro.
