What tours should you take in Rio de Janeiro?


Who hasn't dreamed of spending a few days under the sun in Rio de Janeiro? When you visit this city, you'll be able to confirm that its fame is well deserved. Not only for its beaches and caipirinhas, but also for its landscapes and its people. If you're planning your holidays in Brazil and want to know what to do in Rio de Janeiro, you've come to the right place. Here we tell you about the essential tourist places to visit during your trip.


The first thing we recommend is looking for your accommodation in the Copacabana or Ipanema areas. Although you might think that accommodation here is very expensive, the reality is that there's something for every taste and you can find good accommodation, steps away from the beach, for an acceptable price.


Of course, a holiday in Rio de Janeiro is unimaginable without a visit to its most famous monument, one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World, Christ the Redeemer. You can see it from different points of the city and you can reach it by taking the Corcovado train or by walking through its lush jungle. Of course, the latter requires good physical condition.


If you think the views of Christ the Redeemer are going to be incredible, wait until you get on the Sugarloaf Cable Car. We recommend you to go a few hours before sunset so you can enjoy the twilight with an incredible panoramic view of the city.


Another of the most popular tours in Rio de Janeiro is the Favela tour. Although the reputation of these corners of the city is not very positive, the reality is that there are many of them where the residents are accustomed to tourism and can be visited with a tour without any problem.


For soccer lovers, Brazil is one of those unmissable destinations. If you want to see one of the most famous venues of the king of sports up close, don't miss this tour of the Maracaná stadium. History and culture lovers, on the other hand, can't miss a walk through the city downtown, the Santa Teresa neighbourhood (where the famous Selarón Steps are located) and the island of Niterói. Any of these places are ideal for a free walking tour and learning more about the history of this destination.


But many tourists come to Rio de Janeiro not only to explore this city, but also to take trips to the wide variety of places to visit in its surroundings. Beach destinations, such as Búzios, Arraial do Cabo or Angra dos Reis; mountains, such as the Pedra do Telégrafo, the Tijuca National Park; and other cities, such as Petrópolis. You have countless options to choose from. If you need transportation to any of these tourist spots, please visit our website.


Lastly, keep in mind that there are several airports in Rio de Janeiro, so you can plan how to get to your accommodation, whether by public transport, taxi or shuttle. Boa viagem!
