Tips - Rio de Janeiro
This text is for who didn't go to Rio or wants to go some day.
Here you can learn my tips. A lot of them I get it on facebook, others in Rio or in the websites
www.todorio.com/ e http://lanalapa.com.br/ . They explain all programation that have in the city. Pls note below some tips that I recommend:
Accommodation
I choose for stay in a Hostel that it's cheapest place and that have more people to share and meet.
- You can do new friends
- You can known people of all world
- You learn share screenplay
- You learn news languages (I learned Spanish listening)
- You save money
- You can choose a hostel with female bedroom or men's bedroom
- Learn to share space and cook (Many people, mostly tourists, use this type of hosting prefer cook, and also can do more friends)
- If you have selected has air conditioning, avoid choosing a bed that sits below or facing him, otherwise it will feel too hot or too cold.
The hostels that I stay:
in Copacabana: Copa Hostel www.copahostel.com.br
in Ipanema: Terrasse Hostel www.terrassehostel.com.br
Transfer Airport - Hotel/Hostel
Transfer that I used:
Shuttle rio: http://shuttlerio.com.br/home/br/
In Rio, have a lot of option to save Money, mostly for who comes from Galleon airport, because is the most far airport in Rio.
- Van (I choose the Shuttle Rio, through an agreement with the hostel, I was afraid because of the bad stories that Rio has with vans, but all happens good
I made the trip Galleon - Terrasse and Copa Hostel - Galleon.
- Express Rio: I discovered two days before coming though this bus that passes the main avenues of Copacabana, Ipanema, and other regions. People I met in the hostel used this means of transport to get to the hostel. One of them recommended me but that is not really recommended for those who leave early, early morning was a bit dangerous to the bus stop (especially for those who with this bag or backpack a lot) and he leaves 05:30 endpoint in bar of Tijuca.
Tours
Some tours of the Rio choice of half price for students. I went on all the major , the best known of the city :
- Corcovado: You have a option to buy the entry via the web makes it much easier especially for those who are or have little time in the city (I went to the station and bought, and lot of luck, a lot of it, I went with a few people. Because mostly time is too full.
www.corcovado.com.br
- Sugar Loaf cable car : it has the same advantage of Corcovado. Around the hill still has the track Cláudio Coutinho and red beach , then you can still take a shower and do some hiking. www.bondinho.com.br
- Botanical Gardens, Copacabana’s Fort, Park catacomb (radical sports):
An important detail in these places do not accept credit card then always takes money in your pocket.
Park catacomb - Lagoon Adventures : http://lagoaaventuras.com.br/
Copacabana’s Fort : www.fortedecopacabana.com
- Arraial do Cabo : I went with a agency that delivered a flyer in Copacaba beach.
It’s common have some people offering this trip. One tip is to take money for the boat always has photographers offering their services, but they only accept cash.
- Sambodromo : When I went was in pre - season carnival every weekend then had school rehearsals. Admission is free and after the test is presenting concerts of well known local artists.
- Historical Center : The tour I did was with the team at Free Walkers , with a guide who took us to the historic sites in downtown Rio , in Cinelândia and Lapa . It's totally free. Some people prefer to buy a pack in some tourist agency, I 've been a bit more adventurous and went with the Free Walkers . Super recommended . The tour ends with a feijoada at Bistro da Lapa , and drink is on the house.
Free Walkers : www.freewalkertours.com/
For the rest of the city Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas , Beaches , Arpoador , Claudio Coutinho Lane (next to Red Beach ) ... enjoy , was the nature that gave us and did not pay anything for it. = )

Bom, pra quem ainda não foi ao Rio e está com a viagem marcada ou pretende ir algum dia, aqui vai algumas das minhas dicas. Muitas eu peguei em comunidades no facebook de lá do Rio ou no site www.todorio.com/ . Eles divulgam muito a programação de lá. Seguem algumas que eu recomendo:
Hospedagem
Como forma de economia e experiência também, optei por me hospedar em hostel. Não arrependi em nenhum momento, afinal:
- Você faz novos amigos,
- Conhece pessoas do mundo todo,
- Aprende a dividir espaço e a cozinhar também(Muitas pessoas, principalmente turistas, que há tem costume de usar esse tipo de hospedagem adoram cozinhar, então fica a dica pra se enturmar),
- Aprende a compartilhar roteiros,
- Aprende novos idiomas(é, aprendi espanhol na marra),
- Economiza muuuuuuito.
- Escolha um hostel com quartos compartilhados por sexo.
- Caso o que escolheu tenha ar, evite escolher a cama que fica abaixo ou de frente pra ele, senão, ou irá passar muito calor ou muito frio.
Onde hospedei:
Copacabana: Copa Hostel www.copahostel.com.br
Ipanema: Terrasse Hostel www.terrassehostel.com.br
Transfer Aeroporto - Hotel/Hostel
No rio, opções de economia não faltam, principalmente pra quem embarca ou desembarca no aeroporto Galeão, um dos mais longes da cidade.
- Van(eu contratei a shuttle rio, por meio de convênio com o hostel, tive medo por causa das histórias que o RJ tem com vans, mas como tinha convênio, imaginei que fosse tranquilo… e foi). Fiz o trajeto Galeão - Terrasse e Copa Hostel - Galeão.
- Expresso Rio: Descobri dois dias antes de vir embora esse ônibus que passa nas principais avenidas de Copa, Ipanema, e outras regiões. Pessoas que conheci no hostel utilizaram esse meio de transporte para chegar ao albergue. Uma delas me recomendou porém que, não é muito recomendado pra quem sai muito cedo, de manhãzinha era um pouco perigoso o ponto de ônibus(principalmente pra quem esta com mala ou muita mochila) e ele sai as 05:30 do ponto final na barra da tijuca.
Transfer que contratei:
Shuttle rio: http://shuttlerio.com.br/home/br/
Passeios
Alguns passeios do Rio da opção de meia entrada para estudantes(Somente do Brasil). Fui em todos os principais, os mais conhecidos da cidade:
- Corcovado: ele dá opção de poder comprar a entrada via web, facilita muito principalmente para quem está ou tem pouco tempo na cidade(eu fui até a estação e comprei na hora, e por muuuuuuita sorte, muita mesmo, consegui ir tranquila. www.corcovado.com.br
- Bondinho do Pão de açúcar: tem a mesma vantagem do Corcovado. A, e em volta do Morro ainda tem a pista Cláudio Coutinho e a praia vermelha, então ainda é possível tomar um banho e fazer caminhada. www.bondinho.com.br
- Jardim Botânico, Forte de Copacabana, Parque da catacumba(atividades radicais): Um detalhe importante, nesses lugares não aceitam cartão, então, leva sempre dinheiro no bolso.
Forte de Copacabana: www.fortedecopacabana.com
- Arraial do Cabo: Para arraial do cabo contratei uma agência de um anúncio que me entregaram na rua. Em vários cantos de Copacabana tem alguém oferecendo. Uma dica é levar dinheiro pois no barco sempre tem fotógrafos oferecendo seus serviços, mas eles só aceitam dinheiro.
- Sambódromo: Quando eu fui estava em época de pré-carnaval então todo fim de semana tinha ensaios das escolas. A entrada é franca e logo após o ensaio tem apresentação de shows de artistas conhecidos.
- Centro Histórico: O passeio que fiz foi com a equipe da Free Walkers, com uma guia que nos levou aos pontos históricos no centro do Rio, na Cinelândia e na Lapa. É totalmente gratuito. Há quem prefira comprar um pacote em alguma agência de turismo, já eu fui um pouco mais aventureira e fui com a Free Walkers. Super recomendado. O passeio encerra com uma feijoada no Bistrô da Lapa, e a bebida é por conta da casa.
Quanto ao restante da cidade: Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas, Praias, Arpoador, Pista Claudio Coutinho(Ao lado da Praia Vermelha)... aproveite, foi a natureza que nos deu e não pagamos nada por ela. =)
E o principal:
Vá com a mente aberta, exploradora… Há muito o que se conhecer e aproveitar.
