Rio-de-janeiro There is much more to see in Rio than Copacabana. The city hosts numerous interesting museums, some great colonial buildings and impressive churches. A must-see is Sugar Loaf Mountain (Pão de Açucar) . There are also numerous galleries with good works of Brazilian artists. The best way to explore the city is by foot, as you will get a good taste of what Rio is all about. Public busses are generally very good, but they are difficult to navigate as there is no route map. If you are visiting for a short period of time, it might be worth making longer trips by taxi; they are not very expensive, especially for Americans. The subway (Metrô) is another good and safe option for getting around the touristy areas, and at R$ 1,80 (approximately US $0.60) it's a bargain. |
