One of the brightest carnivals in the world is held here every year, a huge statue of Christ towers over the city, and it was also here that the great combinator Ostap Bender dreamed of coming. What else can surprise you in Rio?
One of the main highlights of Rio - the beaches. The most famous of them - Copacabana, worthy of attention are also Ipanema and Leblon (considered the best place for vacation with children). Optimal for swimming is the beach Urca, where there are practically no waves.
Families with children will be interested to visit the largest water park in Latin America Rio Water Planet, where there are 42 attractions for guests of all ages, get acquainted with the inhabitants of the Amazon jungle in the zoo and watch the stars in a real telescope in the planetarium.
Recommend visiting the Museum of Modern Art in Niteroi. Not only the collection (the second largest in Brazil) is worthy of attention, but also the building itself, which resembles a huge flying saucer. From here you can enjoy a magnificent view across the bay to Rio, the statue of Christ and Sugar Loaf Mountain.
Football fans should check out Maracana Stadium, the largest in Brazil (seating 78,838 people). It was built for the 1950 FIFA World Cup.
