Rio de Janeiro Would Be Even Better Without Scammers🥹

Rio de Janeiro, the "City of God"—here, there's the most passionate samba, the most intense football matches, and also the largest favelas. Guns, sexy bodies on the beach, and scammers everywhere intertwine) to form this charming yet dangerous city. It has a 90s gangster vibe of its own, with graffiti everywhere, dark little street corners, and a constant flow of people on the streets🌆.​ If you only have 3-4 days for your itinerary, these attractions are enough to arrange:​ 🇧🇷Main Attractions:​ Day 1: Cristo Redentor (Christ the Redeemer) on Corcovado Mountain⛰️. You can drop by Parque Lage on the way. It's recommended that you don't wait in line for two hours to get in—it's just a greenish pond inside, really a waste of time😮‍💨. With the time spent queuing, you can wander more outside; the garden has many rare plants, which are very beautiful🌿. If you really don't listen and insist on going in to take photos, it's suggested to have a meal at the restaurant inside—it can save you more than half the time🍴.​ Day 2: Sugarloaf Mountain🍞. You need to set aside half a day for Sugarloaf Mountain. There are shopping places and restaurants on the mountain, suitable for strolling and taking photos slowly📸.​ Day 3: Copacabana Beach🏖️. You can spend a whole day relaxing on the beach, or arrange it in between other activities. When taking photos with the sand sculptures on the beach, be careful—some guys might suddenly jump out to ask for money⚠️.​ Day 4: Catedral Metropolitana de São Sebastião do Rio de Janeiro (Rio de Janeiro Metropolitan Cathedral)⛪, Real Gabinete Português de Leitura (Royal Portuguese Reading Room)📚, and Escadaria Selarón (Selarón Stairs)🌈. These three attractions can be visited in one day as they are all in the same area and reachable on foot. Everyone focuses on taking photos at Selarón Stairs, but the tiles are really beautiful indeed.​ If you can stay for more than 5 days, you can add the following to your itinerary:​ Mosteiro de São Bento (Rio de Janeiro São Bento Monastery). The interior decoration is gorgeous Baroque and Rococo style, with hand-painted murals🎨.​ Pedra do Sal: There's street samba on Monday nights, with many live performances🎶. You can have snacks and drinks🍻. But it will be canceled if the weather is bad☔.​ Pedra do Telégrafo: A popular cliff photo spot, suitable for hiking and rock climbing🧗‍♀️.​ Favela tour🚌​ Besides Copacabana, you can also go to Ipanema Beach—it's quieter🌊.​ Go to Arpoador to watch the sunset🌅.​ Note: Taxi scammers may steal credit card information. Use Uber when going out by car, and pay with cash when taking a taxi!!!!!💳❌💸✅​ #BrazilTravel #travel #RioDeJaneiro #Beach #ChristTheRedeemer
