Plan your Rio de Janeiro experience

Rio de Janeiro’s beaches, viewpoints and neighbourhoods can fill very different days. Plan around the sights that matter most to you, with enough flexibility for travel and outdoor conditions.

For viewpoint visits, compare the transport included and the ticket option you are selecting. A guided route covering several stops is not the same as admission to a single attraction, so check what happens at each stop.

Confirm the pick-up area and any weather-related arrangements. Leave room in your schedule for delays rather than placing another fixed-time activity immediately afterwards.
