What to see in Río de Janeiro
Rio de Janeiro is one of the most important cities in Brazil, famous for its carnival and beaches like Copacabana, but not exclusively. Booking your trip in this place is, therefore, an excellent option for those who love to have fun and love the sea and beautiful beaches. However, Rio de Janeiro is also much more and there are many things to see once in the place.
What's there to see in Rio de Janeiro? Here is a list of architectural and scenic beauties not to be missed.
- Beaches: they are surely one of the most beautiful attractions in Rio de Janeiro. In the collective imagination, the best known is Copacabana, known for the beautiful girls as well as for the sea and the very long beach (about 6 km) and always full of people and fun. Ipanema and Leblon are also beaches to consider if you are in the city.
- Laguna Rodrigo de Freitas: it's just a stone's throw from Ipanema beach, and it's one of those gems everyone should see. Here there is also a beautiful botanical garden worth visiting.
- Christ the Redeemer: this is perhaps the symbol par excellence of the city. It is a statue of Christ the Redeemer on top of Mount Corcovado. More than 30 meters high, the statue is one of the most photographed things in the city. Moreover, thanks to its open arms, it seems to embrace its surroundings.
- Sugarloaf Mountain: is a very characteristic rock, located in Guanabara Bay. It is 338 meters high and is visible from all areas of the city. The name, quite peculiar, is due precisely to the conical shape of the rock, which resembles a large mold used in sugar processing.

Transport in Rio de Janeiro
In the city we can find different types of public transport: metro, buses, trains and taxis. Let's see how the Brazilian transportation system works and how to get around the city easily:
-
The Rio de Janeiro underground is very comfortable and well-developed. It consists of several lines, characterized by different colors, and is generally operational from 5:00 a.m. to midnight during the week and on Saturdays, while on Sundays and holidays it is operational from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. There are three lines: the green line, the orange line and the yellow line. For tourists, however, the orange line and the green line should be taken into consideration. Line 1, orange, is used to move towards Copacabana and towards the Centro district. The yellow line, on the other hand, arrives at Leblon and Barra de Tjuca departing from Ipanema.
-
Buses are another useful means of transport in the city and can be used to move from one place to another in a simple way and, above all, you can admire the beauty of the place comfortably seated. However, it is advisable to always try to combine a trip by metro with that of the bus, to reach the most distant areas of the city even more easily.
- Public taxis are useful for short city trips, but not recommended for airport transfers. The reason is very simple: having calculated the costs with a taximeter, there is the risk of paying prices for airport routes which are not entirely honest.
For more information, such as timetables, fares and stops, we recommend that you visit the official website Public transport in Rio de Janeiro.
