Rio de Janeiro is the second largest city in Brazil and the third largest in Latin America. From the world-famous beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema to the magnificent summits of Corcovado (who can forget the Christ the Redeemer statue?) and Sugarloaf, Rio combines natural attractions with a sprawling metropolis. This is a party city and one that you really can’t miss if you love a good time. Most people spend their days on the beach and their nights dancing at the clubs. With last year’s 2014 World Cup and next year’s 2016 Olympics, Rio is getting its act together and becoming much safer and easy to get around. This travel guide can help you plan better and keep your costs low.
Typical Costs:
Hostel prices – You can expect to pay around 20-25 BRL for a night for a dorm or, on average, 50-70 BRL for a private room. Hostels are abundant, but become more expensive the closer you get to the beaches.
