Rio de Janeiro: frequently asked

Is Rio safe for tourists?
Rio requires more vigilance than other major cities. Stick to tourist areas (Ipanema, Copacabana, Leblon, Santa Teresa, Botafogo, the city centre daytime). Use Uber, not street taxis. Don't display phones or jewellery. The beach areas in daylight are generally safe.
What is Carnival in Rio?
Carnival is the world's largest street festival — 5 days of samba school parades in the Sambódromo, street bloco parties across the city, and non-stop music. Carnival dates change annually (February/March). Accommodation must be booked months in advance.
What is the best beach in Rio?
Ipanema and Leblon are the most beautiful and fashionable. Each section of Copacabana beach has its own personality. Grumari (further west, accessed by car) is Rio's most pristine, least crowded beach.
