Top 5 things to do
Christ the Redeemer
Head up to Christ the Redeemer for wide views over Rio, the bay, and the surrounding mountains. The elevated perspective helps you understand how the city's beaches, neighborhoods, and dramatic terrain fit together.
Sugarloaf Mountain
Ride the cable cars up Sugarloaf Mountain for changing views over the harbor and nearby beaches. The ascent is part of the experience, and the viewpoints give you a different angle on Rio than Corcovado.
Ipanema and Copacabana
Walk the promenades at Ipanema and Copacabana, then spend time on the sand instead of only passing through. The beaches are a central part of Rio's daily rhythm as well as its scenery.
Santa Teresa
Explore Santa Teresa's hillside streets, studios, and historic architecture at a slower pace. The neighborhood gives you a more intimate, residential-feeling side of Rio away from the beachfront and biggest landmarks.
Tijuca National Park
Hike in Tijuca National Park for rainforest, waterfalls, peaks, and viewpoints within the city. It is an easy way to make Rio's natural landscape part of the trip instead of keeping nature at the edges.
