It’s home to some of the world’s most famous stretches of sand, including Copacabana Beach and Ipanema Beach. It’s also ringed by lushly forested mountains and boasts a scattering of emerald islands along the seafront. Then there’s the city itself - party capital of the world and home of the famous Carnival. Add to that centuries of history and heritage and **Rio de Janeiro** simply has it all. #### Areas & Neighbourhoods in Rio de Janeiro **Central Rio** — Here you’ll discover a wealth of great buildings of historical note including the Municipal Theatre, National Library, National Museum of Fine Arts, Tiradentes Palace, Metropolitan Cathedral and Pedro Ernesto Palace. It’s also a wonderful spot to take in Rio’s nightlife with the streets abuzz with bars and clubs. There’s incredible cuisine on every corner… let’s be honest, you could probably spend an entire break in this part of the city! **South Rio** — This is an absolute tourist hotspot. It’s where you’ll find the world-famous Copacabana, Leblon and Ipanema beaches. It’s also home to some of the most extravagant and luxurious hotels on the planet. You’ll also be able to find an incredible range of more affordable accommodation here too. **North Rio** — One of Rio’s less visited areas by visitors, the north of Rio is nonetheless home to a number of noteworthy attractions. The Maracana Stadium, once the largest football stadium in the world, and still the largest in South America is home to the fascinating Soccer Museum. Quinta da Boa Vista Park is also in the north, and is home to the city Zoo, the National Museum and the National Observatory. **West Rio** — This rapidly up-and-coming part of Rio is decked with some spectacular shopping malls, cinemas and bowling alleys. But it’s the clubbing here that is second to none. The Barra da Tijuca district in particular is fast becoming Rio’s go-to district for all the pretty young party people in the know. #### Things to See in Rio de Janeiro There is so much to see in Rio it’s hard to know where to start. The beaches are of course one obvious destination, but perhaps high-ground might help you pick your spot. If so, then the view from the top of the Corcovado hill with its landmark Christ the Redeemer statue is a staggering experience. For a more immersive taste of heaven however the Jardim Botanico is absolutely essential. This glorious botanical garden is an expansive tract of parkland with tree-lined avenues, fountains, statues and ornamental ponds as well as a number of delightful beaches. #### Things to Do in Rio de Janeiro Carnival is the one thing above all else that you really should try and experience in Rio. Essentially a 2 week party that takes over the whole city, each district offers its own different flavour of celebration of life. More traditional activities worth exploring include hang-gliding and paragliding, as well as hiking and trekking the mountains and forests around Rio. Add all of the beachfront activities available too and you’ll be genuinely spoilt for choice.

Copacabana Beach Gleaming hotels and forested hills line the perfectly curved 2.5-mile (4-kilometer) stretch of Copacabana Beach, one of the most famous beaches in the world. Abutting one of Brazil’s highest density residential areas, this beach is nearly always filled to capacity, but that’s part of its charm. Swim in the cool waters of the Atlantic amongst thousands of other visitors, join in a game of soccer on the sand or just sit back on a beach chair and order snacks from a beach vendor and watch the passing parade.

Ipanema Beach Located in one of the wealthiest areas in Rio de Janeiro, Ipanema Beach is between Leblon and Arpoador, adjacent to the famed Copacabana Beach. Although the word Ipanema literally translates to “stinky lake” in the Tupi language, this description doesn’t fit what you’ll find along this stretch of white-sand beach where the rich and chic come to worship the sun. Beyond the western limit of the beach, there is a beautiful view of the two mountains, Dois Irmãos.

Christ the Redeemer Corcovado, which means “hunchback” in Portuguese, is a mountain in the Tijuca National Park in central Rio. The mountain offers three attractions in the one place. Although the Christ the Redeemer (Cristo Redentor) statue may be the highlight, you can also see the world’s largest urban forest that is Tijuca National Park, and experience a scenic journey on the historic Corcovado Train, the country’s oldest tourist attraction.

Maracanã Stadium No arena is more central to the history of Brazilian soccer than Maracanã Stadium. The location of the final matches in both of Brazil’s FIFA World Cups, this stadium has hosted all the great names in Brazilian soccer. Watch one of Rio de Janeiro’s “Big Four” teams play a game, or take a guided tour of this iconic stadium and you’ll soon understand just how large soccer looms in the Brazilian psyche.

Sugar Loaf Mountain Located on the coast of the southeastern corner of Rio de Janeiro, Sugarloaf Mountain (Pão de Açúcar) resides within forests, water and hills at the edge of Guanabara Bay. Rock climbers conquer the mountain using appropriate gear, but most visitors take the glass-sided cable car to the top. Originally built in 1912, the cable car transports 65 visitors per trip and offers panoramic views the entire way.

Avenida Atlantica No Rio de Janeiro holiday is complete without a visit to Avenida Atlântica. This avenue is famous for its events year-round, including a massive New Year’s Eve celebration covering the entire avenue and Copacabana Beach. Stroll along the avenue’s promenade to experience Rio’s lively beach culture and oceanfront events.
