About Rio de Janeiro

With outstanding landscapes and effervescent energy, Rio de Janeiro is fondly called “Cidade Maravilhosa” (Portuguese for Marvelous City) – and there are plenty of reasons why! Its territory is blessed with several hills and is surrounded by islands and bays that create the beautiful beaches that put frequently put Rio on the list for the most beautiful cities in the world. So, put your phone away and be prepared for the amazing scenery that awaits you around every corner.

The hostel offering in Rio de Janeiro is diverse and has some of the best hostels in Brazil. A hostel in Rio can have an amazing view of the city, be located just a few meters from the beach and even have the best caipirinha (the Brazilian national cocktail) around. It’s not going to be hard to find a cheap hostel in Rio and, independently of the price and location you choose, you can be sure your hostel in the Marvellous City will be full of good vibes!

There are three main regions to find your hostel in Rio de Janeiro: the centre, the south (Zona Sul) and Barra da Tijuca. The centre is great for visiting the museums, churches and historical buildings whilst still offering cheap hostels. The south has the most famous beaches, the beautiful Rodrigo de Freitas lagoon (one of the best places to get your chill on in Rio) and the most hip hostels. Barra, further away from the centre, has higher prices, but it’s perfect for those who want more tranquillity and an ocean perfect for surfing.

What to do in Rio? Start with this basic list: bathe in the waters of Ipanema beach, wander through Copacabana (the famous “calçadão”), see the sunset in Arpoador rock, lose yourself in Lapa’s nightlife, hike in Floresta da Tijuca or relax in the beautiful Botanical Garden or iconic Lage Park. Don’t forget to visit Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain, the city’s landmarks. If you want to dig into the local history and culture you can’t miss the Municipal Theatre, the CCBB museum, the Royal Portuguese Reading Cabinet (home of one of the most gorgeous libraries in the world!) and Catete Palace.

Want to explore further? Board a cheap ferry and discover Paquetá Island, an adorable and historical inlet in Guanabara Bay, or get a bus and reach Niterói city, home of MAC museum (based in an impressive building signed by Oscar Niemeyer, internationally recognised Brazilian architect).

The easiest wat to get around in Rio is… all of them! The tube is ideal to make the connection between the city centre and Zona Sul and to get to the main attractions. The bus can be useful for longer routes, like Galeão Airport or Niterói - but try to avoid traffic jams! And transportation apps are a good idea for short rides and night-time journeys.
