The stunning coastal city of Rio de Janeiro is famous when it comes down to the beaches, the casual lifestyle and of course the iconic statue of Christ the Redeemer. But, besides the sightseeing spots, this colourful city has indeed a ton of neighbourhoods to visit. If you are on a holiday or plan to visit Rio, be sure to check out the interesting area of Barra da Tijuca and explore the Brazilian culture.

Rio de Janeiro is famous all over for the proudly standing iconic statue of Christ the Redeemer along with the relaxing beach life. However, if you are travelling in the winter (June to September), it is best to check out some places outside the main city of Rio to learn more about their local culture. During a long holiday to Rio, you must head on over to Itaipava where you will get to see attractions and taste a lot of food.

Rio de Janeiro is well known all around the world for its stunning landscapes and beaches. But besides checking out the city life, visiting Christ the Redeemer and hiking on the mountains, we recommend you to check out the quiet little Park of the Catacomb in Rio. Not only will you get a chance to be in nature, but you will also get to see the beautiful views of the city itself.

Rio de Janeiro is known for the iconic man-made Christ the Redeemer statue. But besides the pleasant weather and the wide array of beaches along the coast, the relaxing environment of Rio is what attracts visitors the most. But while there are plenty of attractions and tours available in the city, we recommend checking out the beautiful areas like Ipiabas close to the main city of Rio.
