Rio de Janeiro is known for its extravagant carnival and dazzling natural beauty, is one of the most visited cities in Brazil. With a rich cultural history and many tourist attractions, Rio de Janeiro is a great place for those looking to relax and explore.

Tourist points not to be missed in Rio de Janeiro.

Rio de Janeiro’s famous Sugar Loaf Mountain is a must-see for tourists. This towering mountain offers panoramic views of the city and Guanabara Bay. Visitors can take a cable car to the top and enjoy stunning views of the city, including Copacabana Beach.

The statue of Christ the Redeemer is also another important tourist point in Rio de Janeiro. This city icon stands over 30 meters tall and is perched atop Corcovado. Visitors can take a train or a minibus to reach the top and admire the breathtaking view of the city and the ocean. We recommend the little train that passes through the Tijuca Forest, this walk is very pleasant.

For those looking to relax, the beaches of Rio de Janeiro are a favorite. Copacabana beach is the most famous, but it has become a little too popular and therefore too crowded. There are many other options such as Ipanema Beach, Leblon Beach and Barra da Tijuca Beach. They are cleaner and nicer. Visitors can enjoy the sun, the sea and the beach, or take part in activities such as beach volleyball, stand-up paddle or surfing.

In addition to its natural tourist attractions, Rio de Janeiro also offers a rich cultural history. The Rio Art Museum is a great place to explore the city’s history and culture. The museum has many permanent and temporary exhibitions, as well as a café and a gift shop.

The neighborhood of Santa Teresa is another place not to be missed. This historic district of Rio de Janeiro is home to many colorful houses and cobbled streets, as well as many bars and restaurants. Visitors can enjoy the view of the city while tasting delicious Brazilian dishes. But beware, this very touristic area is surrounded by favelas and known for pick puckets, so don’t go there with valuables things or don’t walk around alone at night.

If you are sporty you can take a guide to climb Pico do Papagaio which is in the Tijuca forest. If you are going with the family, you can just walk around or take a picnic. It’s the largest forest in a city!

Where to party in Rio de Janeiro?

For those looking to party, Rio de Janeiro’s nightlife is one of the liveliest in the world. The Lapa district is a popular place for partygoers, with many bars and music clubs with live concerts. We recommend a few bars: Carioca da Gema, Le Rio Scenarium and Leviano Bar.

The Rio de Janeiro Carnival, which takes place every February, is also a must-see event for those looking to party in Rio. We organize an immersion trip every year to parade at the Rio carnival:
