Rio de Janeiro is a fascinating city that is bustling with culture and has an incredibly rich atmosphere. It would be easy to spend weeks there without exploring it all. However, if you only had a short amount of time there, here are some things that would be well worth doing.

Corcovado Mountain

The world-famous ‘Christ the Redeemer’ statue sits atop Corcovado Mountain and is one of Rio’s most iconic sites. It gets incredibly busy during the day, however, so it’s best to get there as early as possible if you want to avoid the crowds. You can reach the top by hiking or taking a train. Either way, there are stunning panoramic views of Rio and the coast once you reach the summit.

Copacabana Beach

Copacabana Beach is in some ways the cultural heart of Rio de Janeiro. It is busy all year round, but that is part of the appeal as you can soak up the atmosphere. People are constantly playing football or volleyball, or swimming in the ocean. Why not bring a ball and join in the fun?

Sugarloaf Mountain

Sugarloaf Mountain is a promontory of rock just off the mainland of Rio. You can take a cable car up to the top and gain stunning views across the city, as well as of the Christ the Redeemer statue. Sugarloaf Mountain is a fantastic place to visit at the sunset as well as the views are incredible.

Rio de Janeiro is one of Latin America’s busiest metropolises and it’s impossible to get bored while visiting, but what if you simply want to sit back, relax, and enjoy some art? That’s exactly the kind of experience you’ll find at the city’s many amazing art museums—starting with these three.

Niterói Contemporary Art Museum

One of Rio’s main landmarks, this museum is located in the iconic spaceship-like building designed by Oscar Niemeyer. It’s equally impressive inside and out, and you should make sure to step inside and discover its contemporary art collection, which includes over 1,000 works and covers three floors.

Museum of Modern Art

If the previous museum doesn’t satisfy your cravings for modern art, this one certainly will. It’s located in Flamengo Park, and it will win you over with its striking architecture and water gardens. In addition to exhibitions, it also offers a theater and lecture halls.

National Museum of Fine Arts

If modern art simply isn’t your thing and you prefer museums with a more classic feel, Rio de Janeiro has a spot for you. This fine-arts museum is one of Brazil’s most important cultural institutions, best known for its impressive collection of 19th-century paintings and sculptures.

If you’re ever lucky enough to visit Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, you’ll never run out of colorful places to explore, but there’s something that sets Escadaria Selarón apart. This beautiful stairway is one of the city’s most vibrant landmarks and it celebrates its culture and history in a unique way.

Escadaria Selarón is the brainchild of the Chilean-born artist Jorge Selarón, who used over 2,000 tiles from around 60 countries to decorate the 125-meter long stairway. It was located right next to his home, and he started this creative journey in an attempt to bring some color to this part of Rio while paying homage to the Brazilian people who welcomed him as their own.

Selarón’s work on this iconic stairway didn’t stop until his death in 2013, and he constantly kept adding something new to it and making it even more vivid than before. 250 stairs of Escadaria Selarón are now mostly covered with green, blue, and yellow tiles, mimicking the colors of the Brazilian flag.

Thanks to Selarón’s dedication to his craft, Escadaria Selarón went on to become one of the symbols of Rio and it’s often hailed as the most beautiful stairway in the world. You can find it between the neighborhoods of Lapa and Santa Teresa, and visit it at any time because it’s open to the public.

Many futuristic modern buildings come in white tones because this color gives them a clean, polished look. Architects working in Rio de Janeiro certainly relied on this technique and gave us several cutting-edge buildings that look straight out of a sci-fi movie.

Niterói Contemporary Art Museum

This art museum designed by the legendary architect Oscar Niemeyer doesn’t only look straight out of this world only because it’s white. Its shape is strangely reminiscent of a UFO, and it’s location on a cliffside with a reflecting pool only adds to its futuristic vibe.

Museum of Tomorrow

This science museum became one of Rio’s top tourist attractions since opening its doors in 2015, and it’s truly impressive both inside and out. Santiago Calatrava, who was in charge of designing this neo-futuristic building, wanted it to explore the relationship between the city and its natural surroundings.

Instituto Moreira Salles

Instituto Moreira Salles is one of the most important cultural institutions in Brazil, with amazing exhibitions that highlight the work of contemporary artists. The amazing white building, nestled between beautifully landscaped grounds, is just as impressive as everything you’ll find inside.

The Carnival in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil is the biggest carnival in the world and the festival is held every year for a week before Lent starting in late February to early March. During this festival, the streets are filled with some of the best parties and these are the ones you should attend.

Sambódromo

The most important venue of carnival, the Sambódromo hosts the famous carnival parades. Rio’s best samba schools present a performance that took a year’s worth of preparation and is filled with costumes, floats, and dances.

Centro

Rio city center (Centro) has the oldest and most popular blocks in town. Cordão do Boitatá attracts families and partygoers and costumes are encourages while the official first-ever block of carnival, Cordão do Bola Preta, is the largest one where people dress up in black and white polka dots.

Santa Teresa

The vibe of Santa Teresa is bohemian and artsy with it being a favorite among Rio residents. Be sure to check out the bloco Carmelitas, which is themed around the story of a nun who jumped over the convent’s walls to join the party. Many people wear colored veils to pay honor to the nun.

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is probably one of the most famous beach cities in the world. It has been the subject of many songs, has the largest carnival parade in the entire world, and is viewed as the epitome of paradise. Rio de Janeiro is a very dreamy place and has so much to offer for those who visit. You get the setting of insanely stunning nature, amazing nightlife, and traditional Brazilian food that no one can resist. If you’re considering taking a trip, use this guide to make sure you do everything possible in Rio.

What to Do

Of course, Rio is known for the famous beaches like Ipanema and Copacabana, but there are so many others that are waiting for you in Rio. One of the newly discovered beaches is called Praia de Secreto, which literally means Secret Beach. Located in the west of the city, this beach is great because not only do you have the sea in front of you, but you have natural pools of water that are warm and perfect for relaxing.

Rio is well known for the giant statue of Christ called Christ the Redeemer. It is actually now considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World, so obviously a must-see. You can reach the statue that is now almost 100 years old either by train, a van, or hiking the trail! If you do decide to hike though, try not to bring many valuable things with you as there have been muggings in the past.

After you see Christ the Redeemer, stop at the Santa Teresa neighborhood. There are bright, colonial buildings, cobblestone streets, and a very artsy feeling. There is also a famous set of steps called the Escadaria Selaron, which are truly a work of art. Wander the streets and you can still find local artists and artisans where you can pick up something special to commemorate your trip and support local businesses.

Although Rio is known for its nature and activities, don’t miss out on going to the downtown area! Praca 15 de Novembro is a square the holds the colonial history of the city. This is the spot where the Portuguese royal family first landed in the city and has loads of gorgeous imperialist architecture, as well as museums and political buildings.

Food and Nightlife

There are many places to go out in Rio, but one of the famous spots is the Lapa neighborhood. There are many bars and clubs there that give you the feeling that you’re in carnival all year round.

Food-wise, you cannot leave Brazil without trying fejioada. This bean and pork stew is so delicious and hearty, and will definitely fill you up after a long day of site seeing. The best place to get it in the city is the Academia de Cachaca where it is served very traditionally with all the fixings. This joint is also well known for its cachaca, as told by the name, so be sure to get a shot of it alongside your meal, or better yet, order one of their famous caipirinhas.

Christ the Redeemer statue is one of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil’s top attractions, and everyone who visits it wants to leave with a good photo they’ll cherish forever. Taking pics with this imposing statue can be tough, but here’s a couple of ideas you can use for inspiration.

Copy the Pose

One of the most popular ways to take photos with this statue is copying its pose by outstretching both of your arms. Whether you’re posing with your face or your back facing the camera, you can’t go wrong with this shot, and it’s truly a timeless classic.

Good Spot

One of the biggest mistakes people make while taking a photos here is standing directly in front of the statue and thinking it’s the best spot to take the picture. Get a little bit more creative with your shots, and step away from the statue while looking for a perfect angle.

No Full-Body Shots

Christ the Redeemer is one of Rio’s busiest attractions and that makes it difficult to take full-body shot images. If you want the entire statue and no other people in your frame, you’ll only be able to fit your face and upper body in, so find a way to work with that.

Carnival 2020 is fast approaching, with this year’s edition of the holiday set to take place on the 24th and 25th of February. While some regions on Earth don’t celebrate this holiday, others are absolutely obsessed with putting on a big party on these special dates.

Looking to experience the magic of Carnival? Check out these three recommendations for places to celebrate it.l

Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain

Santa Cruz de Tenerife, located in the Spanish Canary Islands, has arguably Spain’s biggest Carnival celebration. Here, you can celebrate the festivities with singing groups, bands, and parades that culminate with the “burial of the sardine” to commemorate the end of Carnival.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B6bGUXzHksL/

New Orleans, Louisiana, USA

New Orleans’ celebration of Carnival basically boils down to “Mardi Gras,” or Fat Tuesday. The Big Easy turns into a massive party on this day, with all kinds of raucous celebrations in a day full of excess that marks the last day before the beginning of Lent.

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Rio de Janeiro’s Carnival is probably the world’s biggest and most internationally renowned Carnival. Elaborate outfits, endless food and drink, and a city that essentially shuts down to host a massive party make Carnival in Rio a bucket list experience.

Many futuristic modern buildings come in white tones because this color gives them a clean, polished look. Architects working in Rio de Janeiro certainly relied on this technique and gave us several cutting-edge buildings that look straight out of a sci-fi movie.

Niterói Contemporary Art Museum

This art museum designed by the legendary architect Oscar Niemeyer doesn’t only look straight out of this world only because it’s white. Its shape is strangely reminiscent of a UFO, and it’s location on a cliffside with a reflecting pool only adds to its futuristic vibe.

Museum of Tomorrow

This science museum became one of Rio’s top tourist attractions since opening its doors in 2015, and it’s truly impressive both inside and out. Santiago Calatrava, who was in charge of designing this neo-futuristic building, wanted it to explore the relationship between the city and its natural surroundings.

Instituto Moreira Salles

Instituto Moreira Salles is one of the most important cultural institutions in Brazil, with amazing exhibitions that highlight the work of contemporary artists. The amazing white building, nestled between beautifully landscaped grounds, is just as impressive as everything you’ll find inside.

The Carnival in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil is the biggest carnival in the world and the festival is held every year for a week before Lent starting in late February to early March. During this festival, the streets are filled with some of the best parties and these are the ones you should attend.

Sambódromo

The most important venue of carnival, the Sambódromo hosts the famous carnival parades. Rio’s best samba schools present a performance that took a year’s worth of preparation and is filled with costumes, floats, and dances.

Centro

Rio city center (Centro) has the oldest and most popular blocks in town. Cordão do Boitatá attracts families and partygoers and costumes are encourages while the official first-ever block of carnival, Cordão do Bola Preta, is the largest one where people dress up in black and white polka dots.

Santa Teresa

The vibe of Santa Teresa is bohemian and artsy with it being a favorite among Rio residents. Be sure to check out the bloco Carmelitas, which is themed around the story of a nun who jumped over the convent’s walls to join the party. Many people wear colored veils to pay honor to the nun.

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is probably one of the most famous beach cities in the world. It has been the subject of many songs, has the largest carnival parade in the entire world, and is viewed as the epitome of paradise. Rio de Janeiro is a very dreamy place and has so much to offer for those who visit. You get the setting of insanely stunning nature, amazing nightlife, and traditional Brazilian food that no one can resist. If you’re considering taking a trip, use this guide to make sure you do everything possible in Rio.

What to Do

Of course, Rio is known for the famous beaches like Ipanema and Copacabana, but there are so many others that are waiting for you in Rio. One of the newly discovered beaches is called Praia de Secreto, which literally means Secret Beach. Located in the west of the city, this beach is great because not only do you have the sea in front of you, but you have natural pools of water that are warm and perfect for relaxing.

Rio is well known for the giant statue of Christ called Christ the Redeemer. It is actually now considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World, so obviously a must-see. You can reach the statue that is now almost 100 years old either by train, a van, or hiking the trail! If you do decide to hike though, try not to bring many valuable things with you as there have been muggings in the past.

After you see Christ the Redeemer, stop at the Santa Teresa neighborhood. There are bright, colonial buildings, cobblestone streets, and a very artsy feeling. There is also a famous set of steps called the Escadaria Selaron, which are truly a work of art. Wander the streets and you can still find local artists and artisans where you can pick up something special to commemorate your trip and support local businesses.

Although Rio is known for its nature and activities, don’t miss out on going to the downtown area! Praca 15 de Novembro is a square the holds the colonial history of the city. This is the spot where the Portuguese royal family first landed in the city and has loads of gorgeous imperialist architecture, as well as museums and political buildings.

Food and Nightlife

There are many places to go out in Rio, but one of the famous spots is the Lapa neighborhood. There are many bars and clubs there that give you the feeling that you’re in carnival all year round.

Food-wise, you cannot leave Brazil without trying fejioada. This bean and pork stew is so delicious and hearty, and will definitely fill you up after a long day of site seeing. The best place to get it in the city is the Academia de Cachaca where it is served very traditionally with all the fixings. This joint is also well known for its cachaca, as told by the name, so be sure to get a shot of it alongside your meal, or better yet, order one of their famous caipirinhas.

Christ the Redeemer statue is one of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil’s top attractions, and everyone who visits it wants to leave with a good photo they’ll cherish forever. Taking pics with this imposing statue can be tough, but here’s a couple of ideas you can use for inspiration.

Copy the Pose

One of the most popular ways to take photos with this statue is copying its pose by outstretching both of your arms. Whether you’re posing with your face or your back facing the camera, you can’t go wrong with this shot, and it’s truly a timeless classic.

Good Spot

One of the biggest mistakes people make while taking a photos here is standing directly in front of the statue and thinking it’s the best spot to take the picture. Get a little bit more creative with your shots, and step away from the statue while looking for a perfect angle.

No Full-Body Shots

Christ the Redeemer is one of Rio’s busiest attractions and that makes it difficult to take full-body shot images. If you want the entire statue and no other people in your frame, you’ll only be able to fit your face and upper body in, so find a way to work with that.

Carnival 2020 is fast approaching, with this year’s edition of the holiday set to take place on the 24th and 25th of February. While some regions on Earth don’t celebrate this holiday, others are absolutely obsessed with putting on a big party on these special dates.

Looking to experience the magic of Carnival? Check out these three recommendations for places to celebrate it.l

Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain

Santa Cruz de Tenerife, located in the Spanish Canary Islands, has arguably Spain’s biggest Carnival celebration. Here, you can celebrate the festivities with singing groups, bands, and parades that culminate with the “burial of the sardine” to commemorate the end of Carnival.

New Orleans, Louisiana, USA

New Orleans’ celebration of Carnival basically boils down to “Mardi Gras,” or Fat Tuesday. The Big Easy turns into a massive party on this day, with all kinds of raucous celebrations in a day full of excess that marks the last day before the beginning of Lent.

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Rio de Janeiro’s Carnival is probably the world’s biggest and most internationally renowned Carnival. Elaborate outfits, endless food and drink, and a city that essentially shuts down to host a massive party make Carnival in Rio a bucket list experience.
