Rio de Janeiro
Rio sits on a series of spectacular curving bays and beaches - Copacabana, Ipanema, Flamingo and Leblon - where you can find the best hotels, restaurants and nightlife. Famous for the samba and other irresistible rhythms, favourite sightseeing routes include the train to the top of Corcovado and the Statue of Christ, the cable car to Sugar Loaf Mountain, half day city tours and day trips to tropical islands and beaches or to the former capital of Petropolis, just one hour away.
Rio by night is a must, with restaurants offering all kinds of Brazilian and international food and the famous “revolving” barbecues where you can eat as much as you like before sampling the delights of a typical Brazilian samba show or one of the smaller nightclubs.
