Rio de Janeiro is not just beaches and samba – the city is a perfect mix of culture, nature and vibrant energy. If you really want to experience Brazil, here are some unmissable tips to make the most of your stay.
Of course, Copacabana and Ipanema are classics, but if you are looking for a more peaceful and paradisiacal place, try Prainha or Grumari, with crystal clear waters and untouched nature. If you enjoy sports, Leblon Beach and Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas are great for a walk or an outdoor workout overlooking the water.
Want to eat like a local? Try a feijoada or a cod fritter and a caipirinha in Santa Teresa, a charming neighborhood full of history. For sophisticated dining, restaurants like Aprazível offer Brazilian cuisine with an incredible view. And of course, don't leave without trying an açaí on the beach! For a unforgettable breakfast, go to Parque Lage and have a capuccino with a Cristo Redentor view.
Rio is one of the few cities in the world where you can go hiking in the morning and enjoy the beach in the afternoon. The Morro Dois Irmãos Trail has one of the most beautiful views of the city and is perfect for those who want an authentic experience. If you prefer something lighter, the Botanical Gardens offers relaxing walks full of greenery. Experienced bikers might enjoy cycling up to Vista Chinesa.
If you like live music, explore Lapa, with its samba houses and historic bars. Want something more sophisticated? The jazz scene at Blue Note Rio is incredible. And to feel the spirit of Brazilian football, a game at Maracanã is a unique experience!
Rio is a city that goes far beyond postcards – it is made up of experiences, encounters and unforgettable moments.
Experience Rio like a carioca and take this energy with you!
