Top Things to do in Zona Oeste (West Zone)
The 10 Best Points of Interest & Landmarks in Zona Oeste (West Zone), State of Rio de Janeiro (RJ)
January 13, 2022 Russell Mellin
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.
