10 Sights & Landmarks in Copacabana That You Shouldn't Miss
With its plentiful beaches, dramatic mountains, and backdrop of samba and bossa nova rhythms, it's easy to fall in love with Rio de Janeiro. Made famous in song, Ipanema Beach is still the place to stroll, sunbathe, and be seen. The largest Art Deco statue in the world, Christ the Redeemer, beckons visitors to Corcovado Mountain. Rio’s annual Carnaval celebrations are bacchanalian extravaganzas of feasting, music, dance, and costumed revelry.

The hike up was a great introduction to the flora and fauna of Rio. The marmosets are so cute! The butterflies are gorgeous! The fort offers brilliant views of the city, Christo and sugarloaf. We weren’t charged anything for the hike.
4. Avenida Atlantica

4.5 based on 2,952 reviews
Avenida Atlantica, with the iconic wavy sidewalk mosaic of Roberto Burle Marx, is ideal for strolling along Copacabana Beach. It is lined with beachside kiosks offering refreshments such as a chilled coconut, and at the far end is a quaint area where fishermen bring their fresh catch ashore.

WE stayed in a Copacabana hotel on Avenue Atlantica near post 5. Avenue Atlantica is a busy two-way dual carriageway which separates shops, hotels and restaurants from Copacabana Beach. There are numerous safe crossing points to get from one side to the other and we preferred walking and running along the beach side. We had planned to take taxis to restaurants locally at night but felt very secure throughout even late at night and so walked there and back. The avenue is very well lit and is invariably never deserted.

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.

Unless you are looking for a church, you won't notice this wonderful parish. Hidden gem in the midst of the lively Copacabana neighborhood. The church has 2 wonderful side chapels, one has adoration. Beautiful and peaceful place to stop by and pray for a bit and attend mass. They have daily mass and offer Sunday mass in English at 11:30am.
