When is the best time to go to Cidade Universitária?

The best time to visit Cidade Universitária is during the dry season, which runs from May to September, offering comfortable weather for exploring. During these months, you'll experience less humidity and cooler temperatures, making it ideal for walking around the campus and nearby areas without the intense heat and heavy rainfall often seen in other periods. This period also generally aligns with academic holidays in some regions, which can mean fewer crowds on campus. For those planning to attend academic conferences or events, checking the university's annual calendar is advisable, as these often occur outside the peak dry season.

Top Cidade Universitária Hotel Reviews

Hotel Nacional Rio de Janeiro OFICIAL

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent staff, great food, good service and I felt extremely protected!"

Hotel Arpoador

6/10 Okay

"This is a great location. The breakfast is actually very good there are many options and many of the staff were welcoming however I was disappointed at check in the host was very cold did not explain how the elevators work the hostess of the restaurant was kind and came ove to show me. Also I choose to stay at this place because I had heard great things about the roof top and I was not able to use on the night I checked, the form of imforning, was very impersonal. On the way out I was service by an employee that was extremely personal and very concerned about my experience. I hope the owners sees this, and Johnathan is rewarded for his service."

Hotel Atlantico Business Centro

6/10 Okay

"The room was clean but I had two issues and I was that the room was really small and there was really no hot water in the sink. The shower had hot water and was decent but these were the two issues I have with the room. I picked this because it had a gym and although the rooftop pool area was nice the gym would be better if they had some kind of weight equipment."

Américas Granada Hotel

6/10 Okay

"Location is not in a nice neighborhood. Could not even take a shower as the shower area was not draining and causing pooling of water. Reported the incident but no subsequent action taken by attending staff at night. Hotel conditions needed a fix. Overall, I definitely cannot recommend this facility nor would I try the facility. "

Miramar by Windsor Copacabana

10/10 Excellent

"Me and my husband visited in may and we found the hotel great. In an ideal location as close to ipanema side and slightly away from The main cocopabana strip. Also walking distance to lots of food and bars. Also has a lovely rooftop which we enjoyed for relaxing drinks with views of copabana beach."
