Stunningly beautiful and vibrant, Rio is home to spectacular beaches, tropical forest, samba, football, unrivalled carnival parades and lively cariocas (Rio’s residents). As well as the celebrated landmarks of Corcovado and Sugar Loaf mountain forming part of the city’s magical backdrop, Rio offers a wealth of other attractions. In the old centre, historic alleys and colonial buildings coexist with neo-classical and modern architecture, revealing intriguing stories from Rio’s past. An old tram still runs along the former aqueduct to the hillside neighbourhood of Santa Teresa, full of century-old mansions and artistic studios. The sweeping beaches of Ipanema, Leblon and Copacabana are perfect for relaxing. At night the city offers authentic Brazilian cultural experiences ranging from live samba and bossa nova venues to colourful Afro-Brazilian shows and carnival rehearsals.
