	Welcome to Rio de Janeiro

WELCOME

One of the most exciting cities in the world, Rio de Janeiro is also one of the most spectacular, set on a 60 km beachfront where 12 million inhabitants are squeezed in between the beach and the mountains. Rio is an amazing city of contrasts, from the mountains to the beach, the wealthy suburbs to the poorest Favelas, and the pulsating nightlife to the wonderful museums.

WHAT TO DO

Further out from the City itself, the coastline opens up to reveal some real treasures. To the west, the Emerald Coast is home to fishing villages, misty mountains and sandy beaches. The Bay of Angra Dos Reis and the UNESCO listed town of Paraty are well worth a side trip from the bustle of Rio. To the east, fashionable Buzios was made famous in the 60's by Brigitte Bardot, and remains low-rise and laid back today.

WHERE TO STAY

The well known beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema are home to the widest selection of hotels in Rio, although these are often a few blocks back from the beach. There's a good selection available, from value 3* properties where facilities may be limited and a few words of Portuguese may be useful, to luxurious 5* hotels with all the trimmings.

HOLIDAY IDEAS

Spend a few nights in Rio before moving on to other parts of the Country - don't spend too long, though, as it's a hectic city! Move on to Iguacu Falls, Bahia, the Northeast or elsewhere.

GETTING THERE

Rio de Janeiro can be reached from the UK with direct flights (generally with a touchdown in Sao Paulo en route) from Heathrow, or via European cities such as Lisbon. This latter option allows the opportunity to arrive in Brazil at Rio and depart at another destination such as Recife.
