Rio de Janeiro, Brazil + Add a trip

Museum of the Republic

The building itself, The Catete Palace, is quite stunning. To get the most out of the exhibits, you need to understand Portuguese, or take a translator. It normally costs R$6 to get in, but it was free, the day I went, I don't know why.

NUTH LOUNGE

NUTH LOUNGE Av. Armando Lombardi, 999 Barra da Tijuca :: Rio de Janeir

Pão de Açúcar

A place you must go to take some very nice pictures! Um lugar que você deve ir pra tirar lindas fotos.

imo, one of the most beautiful places i've ever been. you could easily spend a day there. take advantage of the tour guides. their environmental studies students, many of which speak english, and can show you some hidden gems and info in the park

Estrada das Paineiras, on Weekends

That´s a must for tasting the Brazilian Northeastern cuisine at the heart of Rio. There are restaurants for all tastes, shops where you can buy souvenirs and some typical foods and drinks, nice cachaça stores, and if you want to learn how to dance forró, here´s the place!

What can I say? It´s a pity that it will be closed for reforms until 2011. Watching a football game here is a lifetime experience.

MUSEU HISTÓRICO NACIONAL - O melhor lugar para entender a história do país. And you don´t need a translator.
