Christ the Redeemer and City Tour

Q: Does the Christ the Redeemer and City Tour include free time at each stop for taking photos?

Yes, the Christ the Redeemer and City Tour in Rio de Janeiro includes stops so you can get off the vehicle and take photos, especially at iconic locations such as the Maracanã Stadium, the Sambadrome, the Cathedral, and the Selarón Steps. However, time is limited, so we recommend paying attention to the guide's instructions.

Q: Why is it not possible to enter the Maracanã Stadium during the tour?

The tour includes several scheduled stops and visits around the city, and the available time does not allow a visit inside Maracanã Stadium. For this reason, the tour includes an exterior stop where you can take photos and admire one of the most famous stadiums in the world.

Q: What are the differences between going up Corcovado by train and by van?

The only real difference is the means of transportation: van or train. The scenery is the same, as both routes travel through areas within Tijuca National Park. Just keep in mind that the train ride usually takes a little longer due to waiting times and is only available on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, while the van ride is available every day.

Description

We’ll kick off the Christ the Redeemer + City Tour with our first stop at Corcovado Mountain (713 m), home to the iconic Christ the Redeemer, an Art Deco statue standing 38 m tall and one of Rio de Janeiro’s most famous landmarks. Depending on the option you select, you can travel the mountain by van or train, crossing Tijuca National Park, one of the largest urban forests in the world.

Next, you’ll continue to other must-see spots around the city. You’ll stop by the outside of Maracanã Stadium (no entry), see the Sambadrome (Sambódromo Marquês de Sapucaí), the main stage for Carnival parades, and visit Rio’s Metropolitan Cathedral (Cathedral of Saint Sebastian), known for its unique architecture. To finish with color and culture, you’ll stop at the Selarón Steps, a vibrant mosaic made with tiles from around the world.
