Where to stay in Rio de Janeiro
Copacabana features a 4-kilometer beachfront with the iconic wave-patterned promenade designed by Roberto Burle Marx, accessible via Metro Line 1 (Orange Line). Ipanema, with its wide sidewalks and tree-lined streets, sits between Copacabana and Leblon and connects via Metro Line 1 (Orange) and Line 4 (Yellow). Leblon, located directly west of Ipanema, offers a quieter atmosphere with upscale dining and local markets while remaining close to the beach.
Why visit
Rio de Janeiro is home to Christ the Redeemer, a 30-meter tall Art Deco statue completed in 1931 with arms spanning 28 meters, which stands atop the 700-meter peak of Corcovado Mountain. The city stretches across 4-kilometer-long Copacabana Beach and features the Tijuca National Park, one of the largest urban forests in the world, combining tropical coastline and forested mountains within the urban area.
