Santa Teresa

This quaint bohemian neighborhood of Rio with colonial buildings and cobblestone streets steep on a hillside overlooking the city is earning the interest of tourists wishing to see an alternate Rio away from the beach scene. Art galleries and restaurants add to the local culture of Santa Teresa.

Reviewed By arvind1000 - Pune, India

A visit to this Bohemian arty neighbourhood, with old colourful colonial houses, is a must do on a visit to Rio. This is best done around noon when the restaurants and bars of the neighbourhood our open. The place has old world charm, something in a time warp. There is also an old tram which does circuit between Rio Centro and Saint Theresa and back. There are also a some nice souvenir and gift shops.

Urca

Reviewed By iamyaman

This is one of my favorite populated areas in Rio. The mountain is a nice view and good value for the cable car ride up to the top and then over to Sugarloaf. The beach is very clean and small. There is a military base at the bottom of Mount Urca so it is about as safe as you can get. The hike up the mountain is pretty good and the shops and restaurants in the area are very friendly.

Leme

Reviewed By Kingpaul100 - Malaga, Spain

Thisbos esswntially a quiter section of Copacabana Beach. Located at the far end- away from Ipanema. Things are a little quieter here. Not so many people. Water also a little less lively and therefore more suitable for children. Some great surfers to watch. Beach cafe/ bar / restaurants available.

Centro Historico

Reviewed By FlosFamily - Paraty, Brazil

We loved Paraty - we took photos galore and enjoyed exploring the miriad of different shops, bars and restaurants. The harbour and riverside with all their colourful boats were fascinating. The protected cobbles makes this a no car zone however the uneven cobbles are quite tricky to walk on. The high tide does come up over some of the streets which means you have to make detours. We felt completely safe here.

Passagem Neighborhood

Reviewed By 511lucyk

This is a family neighborhood with beautiful historical colonial architecture, full of restaurants with different cuisine to choose from, and hotels such as the Solar do Arco and others, usually located right by the water. It is close to the Canal do Itajuru which connects the ocean to Araruama Lagoon. The view of the canal is one of my favorites in Cabo Frio. You can enjoy the flights of different birds, watch the colorful boats and canoes anchored by the shore. From the shores of the canal at Passagem neighborhood you can get a water taxi that will take you to the famous Ilha do Japonês, Island of the Japanese, close by. Passagem is truly a beautiful place to visit.

Reviewed By 193linda - Chelmsford, United Kingdom

If you only do one thing in Rio you must do the cable car which is one of the smoothest climbs and so easy You really feel you are on top of the world and are even higher than the aeroplanes that fly by readying themselves to land The views are amazing and unforgettable trust me you won’t be disappointed
