Check the breaking waves on the left side and on Ipanema's side, you'll have a breathtaking view on the sunset.
It's considered special as during the midsummer you are able to enjoy the sun setting over the sea (a rare event in the Brazilian coast) right next to the Two Brothers hill.

An old tv advertisement used to say that Cariocas are always looking for different sights of the most famous monument around, the Christ. It’s true, and Parque Lage has its own Christ’s particular sight. A walk in the garden is something you should really try in a hot day.

If you are in Centro visiting the old buildings or the Municipal Theater this is definitely a must. They serve amazing tea time menus. You can also go there for lunch, they have good sandwiches. It is not the cheapest place to eat but it is worth the visit.

Ipanema Beach

Ipanema is the beach where everybody goes. Despite of having a lot of tourists here, it's totally different from Copacabana. There are different zones in the beach. Posto 8 is gay-friendly, Posto 9 is 420-friendly and a little bit hippie and alternative too, and Posto 10 is more preppy but still laid-back.

It's a great place for taking pictures! You can spend hours going up and down the stairs, in awe by this delicate artwork. Also, this place isn't very known by foreigners, so many people come to Rio and never discover it.

Get there is not difficult, but is also not very easy. Maybe that’s why people (including celebrities) loves to go there seeking for some quiet time and some privacy.
You can get there by a street called Estrada do Joá, that links São Conrado to Barra da Tijuca.

Because of Its mix of architectural design styles, and its unconventional form – it incorporates a 1920’s building to a floating modern architectural project. The expositions that always bring up the city’s history and culture and the gorgeous view to the bay worth the visit.

It's such a outstanding beach, with the Sugar Loaf just on your feets and unbelievably clear water. Although it's inside the bay, the ones who know the inside scoop are aware that it’s one of the cleanest beaches in town, so don't worry. It's perfect for outdoor sports such as stand up paddle or kayak.

Prainha is far from the center of Rio, but still worth the visit. You can be in a place not well known even for many cariocas. Only the real locals - people that lives in the surrounding neighborhoods - go there often and enjoy the beauty and the environment.
