Holidays To Rio De Janeiro

One of the most visited cities in South America, Rio de Janeiro dazzles with its mountainous terrain, incredible location overlooking the Atlantic, electrifying atmosphere and outdoor attractions. Our Rio de Janeiro holidays open you up to the city’s splendid sights and give you an immersive introduction to Cidade Maravilhosa or ‘the Marvelous City’.

Why visit Rio de Janeiro?

The city’s most recognised symbol, Christ the Redeemer, welcomes you on your Rio de Janeiro holidays with open arms even before you touch down. Take a guided tour to the top of the Corcovado Mountains or if you prefer a little adventure, hike through the forests surrounding it.

It’s tough to believe that there can be a rainforest right in the middle of such a large and populous city, but that is precisely what the 8,300-acre Tijuca National Park is – one of the largest urban rainforests in the world that is teeming with wildlife and more than 1,600 species of flora. 

Head to Rio’s vibrant beaches such as Ipanema and Copacabana, and spend the day relaxing on its sands. Stroll through the neighbourhood of Santa Teresa, pausing to admire its grand mansions or to savour some traditional Brazilian fare. Take in magical sunsets from the top of Sugarloaf Mountains, and samba your way through the night in Lapa once the sun goes down. 

Of course, if you visit the city during the Carnival, the vibe is that of a joyous, never-ending party. 

Things to know before you travel to Rio de Janeiro

• There are multiple direct flights from London to Rio de Janeiro, and the flying time is around 12 hours.
• British citizens can travel to Brazil for tourism purposes for up to 90 days without a visa. 
• Portuguese is the official language of the country. English is spoken at tourist-centric attractions and hotels, but it’s best to learn a few basic Portuguese phrases if you are planning to travel to places that are not very touristy. 
• Humidity in the city is high year-round, so pack breathable fabrics such as cotton, linen and bamboo. Relaxed, casual wear is the dress code.
