What to see in Rio de Janeiro

Rio de Janeiro is one of the most expressive cities in the world, where history, colonial architecture and wildlife merge into a vivid picture. The name of the city is associated with Guanabara Bay, and its atmosphere is a mixture of carnival mood, sea breeze and green mountains that surround the cityscape. Here you can feel the dynamics of the metropolis, and the proximity of tropical nature, which makes Rio a unique place to travel.

Manufactures and facilities

In the city are concentrated iconic man-made sights: 38-meter statue of Christ on top of Corcovado and cable car to Sugar Head open panoramas that will remain in memory forever. Maracana Stadium, Gustavu Capanema Palace, and former royal residences like Quinta Boa Vista illustrate architectural eras, while historic churches like San Francisco, Candelaria, and San Bento Monastery hold a rich cultural heritage. Modern museums, monuments and city squares complement this multi-layered image.

Natural attractions and places

Natural attractions in the surrounding area are striking in diversity: Tijuca National Park is one of the largest urban forests in the world, the Organ Hills create dramatic silhouettes, and the botanical gardens and the Brazilian Tropical Garden collect collections of rare plants. The beaches – Copacabana, Sao Conrado, Prainha and Abrico – beckon with golden sand and warm ocean, while Guanabara Bay, Pista Claudio Coutinho Reserves and Guapiacu ecological reserves preserve pristine corners of nature and offer excellent routes for walking.

Build routes and visit interesting places

On our site you can see all these places on an interactive map: brief descriptions, photos and practical tips will help you decide what to see first.

You can travel around Rio on your own, following a pre-prepared route and enjoying the freedom of discovery, or use the services of local guides and book excursions for a deep dive into history, culture and little-known places. Local guides will discover behind-the-scenes stories, suggest convenient routes and help make the trip safe and rich, and independent walks will allow you to feel the rhythm of the city with your own steps.

Rio de Janeiro is waiting for guests: come to see the statue of Christ in the rays of dawn, climb Sugar Head, walk through the botanical gardens and swim on the famous beaches. Discover the city through walks, thoughtful routes and excursions – and let each trip to Rio be the beginning of new experiences and discoveries.
