Rio Tourist Guide

 Cine Íris is the oldest cinema in Rio de Janeiro. Located in the city center, it was opened in 1909 and currently works as a pornographic movie theater. Its facade is preserved but all pomp and luxury is unfortunately in the past. Daily many people pass in front of the building and do not even notice the historic monument. When walking through the historic center we came across many abandoned historic buildings, the past completely in ruins, a pity.

 Rio de Janeiro is a city with infinite possibilities for tours. Here we separate five free tours to do in the city. 1. Urca Urca is a picturesque neighborhood in the South Zone of the city located near the Copacabana neighborhood. Although most visitors go straight to the famous Sugar Loaf cable car, the neighborhood has pleasant places such as the edge marked by a wall from where it is possible to admire the landscape and watch the beautiful sunset. 2. Tijuca Forest Tijuca Forest is the main sector of Tijica National Park. It offers places for picnics, natural pools, waterfalls and beautiful viewpoints. It is located in the Alto da Boa Vista neighborhood. The park is well signposted and the trails well structured. Pay attention to the rules exposed on the information boards. 3. Paço Imperial Paço Imperial is a cultural center located in Praça XV, one of the main squares in the historic center of Rio de Janeiro. It has free admission and fixed and traveling exhibitions.

 The Real Gabinete Português de Leitura is a library located in the historic center of Rio de Janeiro. From time to time your photos appear in lists of the most beautiful libraries in the world. The building was built at the end of the 19th century and its architecture is very well preserved. Highlight for the rich interior with books as part of the decoration. The Real Gabinete is located near Tiradentes square in downtown Rio de Janeiro and has free admission.

 Praia do Flamengo is a beach bathed by the Guanabara Bay. It is located in the neighborhood of Flamengo, in the South Zone of Rio de Janeiro and has the famous Pão de Açúcar Mountain in its landscape. Unfortunately, it is polluted due to the neglect of Guanabara Bay. But at times it even presents bathing conditions. The beach is located at Aterro do Flamengo, a large area that has been landfilled and turned into a park. On weekends and holidays it is usually very busy but be careful, because unfortunately it is common for thefts to occur in some areas of the park.

 Rio de Janeiro is one of the main tourist destinations in the world, located in the Southeast Region of Brazil and is the second largest city in the country with approximately 6 million people. Despite the Rio de Janeiro summer being famous, I do not recommend this time to visit. Because the prices are high, the streets are very crowded and the heat is unbearable with high thermal sensation. Autumn is the best season to travel to Rio de Janeiro. It usually has sunny days and pleasant nights with a mild climate. Stay in the South Zone of the city, as it has a great tourist infrastructure with many accommodation options such as hotels, hostels and seasonal properties. Choose neighborhoods like Copacabana, Botafogo and Ipanema, in them you will find a wide variety of commerce and public transport. When traveling around the city, give preference to public transport. Rio has subway, train and bus. The tourist area is served by a subway line that connects important regions of the c...
