Sightseeing
If you can spend a few days in Rio, take advantage of it! The city has breathtaking scenery, and we really want you to experience a little bit of what we love about it.
Must -See Classics
Christ the Redeemer
One of the most famous postcards in the world, and experiencing it up close is an unforgettable experience. The view from up there is truly breathtaking. Go early in the morning or late in the afternoon to catch the best light and avoid the crowds. Access can be via the Corcovado train (in Cosme Velho) or by official vans.
Pão de Açúcar Mountain
Another city icon. The ascent is made in two glass cable cars, and the panoramic view from up there encompasses the entire Guanabara Bay, Copacabana, and Botafogo.
To explore at your leisure
Botanical Garden — South Zone
A green oasis in the middle of the city, with over 200 years of history. Perfect for a peaceful morning, surrounded by ancient trees, orchids, and even monkeys roaming freely.
Beaches of the South Zone — Copacabana, Ipanema and Leblon
A day at the beach is a must in Rio! Each one has its own charm: Copacabana is vibrant and full of life, Ipanema is trendy and bustling, and Leblon is more tranquil and family-friendly.
Beaches of Barra da Tijuca
If you're staying in Barra (or want to explore that side of the city), the beaches there are incredible, our favorites. Barra Beach is almost 18 km long. It's perfect for walking, cycling along the boardwalk, and enjoying a sunny day without crowds.
Our Special Tip
Prainha
It's a little further away, in the West Zone, but it's one of our favorite places in Rio. A beach surrounded by the Atlantic Forest, with crystal-clear waters, postcard-perfect views, and a totally different energy from the urban beaches. It feels like you've left the city and entered a hidden paradise!
Reminder
Rio is a wonderful city, but it requires some precautions, especially for first-time visitors. Be mindful of your belongings, avoid displaying valuables, and if you're unfamiliar with the city, it's best to use Uber or go with someone who knows their way around.
We really want you to be here, but we want your safety and peace of mind even more. That way, you can enjoy the best of Rio without any hassle!
