What to do in Rio de Janeiro?

One of the most visited cities in the southern hemisphere, Rio de Janeiro is best known for its samba, beaches, football, towering Christ the Redeemer statue (which watches over the city) and for its colourful Carnival; this world-renowned event takes place every February and is widely acknowledged as the biggest party on earth. Copacabana Beach, its 2.5 mile stretch of sand, is world-famous and the perfect place to catch some rays and enjoy beach volleyball and football.

Ascend the Corcovado mountain to get up close to the Christ the Redeemer statue and not forgetting nearby Sugarloaf mountain where you can ride the cable car up and enjoy stunning views. If you enjoy natural wonders then take a trip to the stunning Jardim Botânico for a chance to glimpse toucans, sloths and tortoises amongst 140-hectares of charming greenery and also the Parque Lage, an opulent mansion turned public park.

For a surreal experience escape to Largo do Boticário, a square full of neocolonial houses which have long since been abandoned and enveloped by the surrounding rainforest foliage. Be immersed in Rio’s vibrant musical heritage at the Pedra do Sal district also known as ‘Little Africa’ or for the finest food and ingredients the Feira Livre da Glória weekly Sunday market. If you're fortunate enough to be in town for a football game, a visit to the Maracana Stadium is simply a once-in-a-lifetime experience for footie fans.

Take a visit to the Museum of Tomorrow which was voted ‘Best Innovative Green Building’ a few years back, plus some other architecturally interesting buildings include the Museum of Modern Art (MAM) and the Metropolitan Cathedral. Check out the affluent Sao Conrado, with its mansions and wealthy neighbourhoods, on the side of the Pedra de Gavea mountain, to see the contrast between this and the impoverished favelas which make up much of the city's neighbourhoods.

Whichever way you plan to enjoy Rio de Janeiro, you are sure to have a truly memorable holiday in one of the most vibrant and dynamic cities you will ever experience. If you are heading to Rio, especially for Carnival, not only should you be sure to book your flights and hotel as soon as possible, but also your airport transfer; at this time of year, the airport and the city become extremely crowded.

Types of HolidayTaxis transfer vehicles
March 31, 2023

At HolidayTaxis, we recognize that every traveler is different and may have their own preferences and requirements for their airport transfers. To accommodate this, we offer a diverse range of transfer vehicles for our customers to choose from, each with its own set of benefits and advantages.

For example, if you're traveling in a large group, our minibus or shared airport shuttle transfers might be the best option for you, as they can comfortably accommodate a larger number of passengers and their luggage. On the other hand, if you're traveling with just one or two companions, a private car may be more suitable for you as they offer a more intimate and personalised experience.
