Best Neigborhoods to Stay in Rio
Iconic neighborhood that hosts some of the world's biggest parties! This is where foreigners typically choose to stay, and prices show that. I typically avoid Copacabana because robberies are incredibly common in the region.
Copacabana Beach
Rio's trendiest neighborhood that has lots of fun bars, restaurants, and art! The hilly area grant insane city views while being just a quick drive away from all major tourist destinations.
Santa Teresa
Hands down my favorite neighborhood to stay in Rio! The beachfron is stunning and don't have a touristy vibe. Local bars and restaurants are amazing!
Barra da Tijuca
