Where to Stay in Rio de Janeiro

Cidade Maravilhosa — beaches, mountains, and samba between the rocks

Copacabana, Ipanema, Christ the Redeemer, and the world's greatest carnival city.

Travel Guide

Rio de Janeiro is one of the world's most dramatically beautiful cities — mountains plunging into the Atlantic, iconic beaches (Copacabana, Ipanema, Barra), and Christ the Redeemer watching over it all from Corcovado. Carnival here is the largest party on earth. The rest of the year, Rio lives on the beach, in the favela parties (baile funk), and on the trails of Tijuca forest.
