Its famous beaches around the world attract visitors from all corners. The historic center has buildings from different periods which ended up giving the city the title of World Capital of Architecture.

Below I have separated three topics that will help you to elaborate a script for a future trip to the Marvelous City.

1. When to go

Located in a tropical country, the city has a mild climate all year round. It is best to visit it outside of the summer that runs from December to March. In this period, the climate is very hot and prices are high due to the movement of tourists.

2. Where to stay

The South Zone of Rio de Janeiro concentrates most of the city's tourist spots. The main means of accommodation are concentrated in this region. This area is cut by the subway line which makes commuting easier. In addition to the famous neighborhoods like Copacabana and Ipanema, there are others not so well known that have good options like Botafogo, Flamengo and Catete.

3. What to do

The beautiful beaches are what most tourists look for when they think about traveling to Rio de Janeiro. But the city offers several options for trails as there are several parks around the city. For those who like adventures, there is the possibility of hang gliding, diving, parasailing and even helicopter flight with the doors open.

For architecture lovers around the city, there are centuries-old buildings. In the historic center are museums, theaters, cinema, cultural centers and many other historic buildings.

The gastronomy is very varied, remembering that Rio de Janeiro is a great city and brings many food options.

The most famous night in the city is Lapa, a region that concentrates bars, restaurants and nightclubs. But in all regions of Rio there are good options for those who like to enjoy the night.
