Rio de Janeiro Trips & Tours
Rio de Janeiro
Start with a recommended trip or create one from scratch
As Brazil’s ‘Marvellous City’, Rio is a place where you can do it all. If it’s sightseeing you want, take the train to the top of Corcovado Mountain to stand beside Christ the Redeemer – and soak up sensational views of the city and coastline below. Ride the tram across the famous Lapa Arches for a stroll in bohemian Santa Teresa, walk up the technicolour Selarón Steps, or wander through the sprawling Botanical Garden. And then there are the beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema, where you’ll laze on the bronzed sands as samba music escapes from nearby bars. Of course, if you’re visiting at the right time of year, enjoy the flair and frivolity of Carnaval. And that’s just scratching the surface…
Rio’s unique brand of magic is very, very contagious, whether you’re admiring the famous mosaiced Selarón Steps or basking in the sunshine in the birthplace of the Bossa Nova. Cariocas don’t just live - they do it with gusto!
For a deeper perspective on Rio’s socio-cultural fabric, take a guided visit to one of the city’s favelas. As long as it’s led by a reputable local guide, the experience will be safe, respectful and eye-opening.
While Carnival takes place during the summer (December through March), temperatures can reach upwards of 35°C and the humidity is stifling. Consider visiting Rio in spring or autumn when the weather is just right for most activities.
