Top Things to Do in Rio de Janeiro 2021

"Wonderful park, with this monumental old building inside! Luxurious cafe opens at 9am, and therefore you can not see the inside of the building. Nevertheless it's wonderful spot for wanderers! From that point, through the woods, you can take one steep hiking trail to get to the monument of the Christ the Redeemer. I love all the walking/hiking options Brazil is offering us ♡"

"We made our way to The statue of Christ by using public transport first we bought a ticket at the Metro and there is a connecting bus that will take you directly to the cog tram. The cost was substantially cheaper than using a need to and also you are not limited to the amount of time that you spend up at the top of Christ the Redeemer"

"This large lagoon in the southern suburbs of Rio, is home to dozens of kiosks selling drinks until the early hours of the morning. Just about every drink imaginable is available at one of these stalls, with a large variety of different types of Caipirinha’s being the main attraction. The lagoon offers one of the most picturesque views in Rio at night time, and is the perfect place to enjoy a drink or two. However, there isn't much point in turning up until 11pm, when the party really gets started!"

"It is one of the seven wonders of the world, but this is not a coincidence. It has been completely refurbished, tidy and well maintained and includes the entire park. Great safety considerations, panoramic elevators, escalators for those who cannot climb stairs."

"We loved this botanical garden! This was our first trip to South America, so this garden was perfect to see loads of tropical trees, plants, flowers and nature life from the area. There are many picturesque spots with pagodas, statues, waterfalls, and ponds. We saw so many women have photoshoots here -- mostly maternity shots! There are tropical birds too and even a distant view of Christ the Redeemer."

"It is not an exaggeration to call this Principality of Sculpture, the biggest feature is this."
