Rio de Janeiro Vacation Deals

Rio de Janeiro is well known as being the place to go party and also has some of the beach beaches to be found anywhere in the world. It still lives up to these claims of fame but there is so much more to do here than tan and party. One of Rio’s most famous sites is the Pão d'Acucar, Sugarloaf Mountain. This beautiful place is actually made up of two mountains joined together by cable cars that take you from one to the other. You could also go to Corcovado Mountain, home to the impressive Christ Redeemer statue. Standing at 100 feet with outstretched arms the statue can be seen from miles around. Although Rio is filled with beautiful scenery, a great place to see a great collection of it all at once is at the beautiful Botanical Garden.

Oh the wonderful beach of Copacabana. What more can be said about this fantastic stretch of sand? It’s a favorite place for both locals and tourists, so get to the beach early to find that perfect spot. Following this is Ipanema. In fact, this beach is so famous that people travel from all over just to soak up some of the rays that land here.

The Catedral Metropolitana is a beautiful cone-shaped design building that took more than ten years to build and the result was worth waiting for. Enjoy the murals, sculptures and art pieces as well as the stunning stained-glass windows. It’s near impossible to go a few steps in Rio and not hear or see something about soccer. The Maracanã Soccer Stadium has a museum that showcases some of Brazil’s biggest goals. On game days, see Brazil’s superstars strut their stuff on the field and join the 200,000 fans that cheer for their players. Although it can get a little rowdy with the drums and chants, it’s an experience you won’t soon forget… just make sure you’re cheering for the right team.

When you hear about Rio de Janeiro, one of the things that come to mind will be carnival. The entire city shuts down for this celebration. But don’t worry about missing the party. This city still knows how to celebrate long before carnival makes its way through the streets.

Just imagine dancing in the streets, seeing the sights, and screaming for the teams. Make your daydream into a reality and book with HotelsbyCity today.
