City Breaks & Travel Deals To Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Rio de Janeiro is the southern hemisphere's most visited tourist destination, and it's no surprise why. The vibrant and pulsating former capital has all the trappings of an excellent city break destination, and much more. The second largest city in Brazil, Rio has beautiful scenery, excellent beaches; a fun laid back vibe and great nightlife. Rio de Janeiro has so much to see and do that its nickname is the Marvellous City - "cidade maravilhosa". With this great lifestyle and gorgeous sites comes another side of the city - heavy crime and violence and a lot of poverty - and the problems are plain to see. However, the experience is sure to be a one in a lifetime opportunity that no traveler will ever forget. That is thanks to some great famous sights such as the Christ the Redeemer Statue, the fabulous Copacabana and Ipanema beaches, and the beautiful Sugar Loaf Mountains.
Such attractions are typical Rio "must-sees" and a city break in Rio de Janeiro would be in vain if tourists don't at least get a picture of the aforementioned sights. The Corcovado cable car is the way up to the Christ the Redeemer Statue, while a tram accesses the Sugar Loaf Mountains. From these two vantage points, visitors begin to realize that the long flight was definitively worth it, especially if they are lucky enough to experience the views at sunset. After voyagers checked out these main sights, it is time to hit the beach to top up their tan and watch all the beautiful people showing their stuff on the fine sands of Rio's beaches. For alternative sights, they should check out the Maracana - the huge football stadium used to be the biggest in the world and boasting a football museum for fans of this much-loved Brazilian sport.
Planning breaks to Rio de Janeiro is an enjoyable task since the accommodation is plentiful. If travelers are on a luxury holiday to this fabulous city then they will be spilt for choice with some fabulous 5-star hotels and luxury boutique accommodation. The Sheraton Rio Hotel has an ocean front resort right on Leblon Beach, while the Windsor Atlantica Hotel features a stunning rooftop terrace with great views. For those on budget who still want all the best facilities on offer, should look no further than the great 3-star hotels in the city, which include the Mar Ipanema Hotel right on the beach or the Ipanema Inn Hotel, also near the shore. Finally, those who have spent most of the money on the flight and have little left over for accommodation have never fear! There are some great 2-star hotels in the city, including the Hotel Venezuela or the Hotel Sol da Barra. The Hotel Diplomata Copacabana is located right on the worldwide famous beach and is an excellent choice for those looking for well-situated budget accommodation.
During vacations in Rio, visitors are advised to take the time to see the other side of Brazilian life with an organized tour of one of the shantytowns, known locally as favelas. Tourists could also take a samba lesson and practice their moves if they are lucky enough to be in the city during carnival or spend the afternoon wandering around the Botanical Gardens (but watch out for the monkeys!). For those who love history and museums, there is the National Museum of History that gives a great overview of the city's history as well as the history of Brazil as a whole. The Modern Art Museum is also worth a look while a break in Rio, as is the Carnival Museum for those who want to learn a bit more about the joys this major Brazilian event. Finally, after a hard day of sightseeing, guests have the opportunity to order a caipirinha and put their feet up!
