Scary posts about tourist safety aside, this is a super fun city. I felt safe at all times. Exuberant people. Abundant natural beauty. Tour providers were excellent in value and communication. Don't miss Favela, Paqueta' island or Ilha Grande tours.

Much safer than you read about online or see on the news. Use common sense and you should encounter no real problems. After 3 months, I have had a very successful trip here. Would absolutely recommend a visit to Río and Copacabana/Ipanema/Leblon.

Take a copy of your passport everywhere. If you are over 60 you get to use the preferential lanes in markets, and for touristic places like the Pao de Azucar and the Corcovado. This saves a huge amount of time.

Loved Rio but you must be careful. Do not wear jewellery or watches. Dress down and don't wander around with your phone out. All the sites were great - Christ, Santa Teresa, the cathedral, selaron steps.

Rio is a gorgeous and artisitc and inspiring city, but locals frequently cite fears surrounding theft and violence. While I did not experience it, the threat looms around the atmosphere.

The city views from the top of the near-by moutain tops are incredible. The city has a high energy not encoutered elsewhere. Prices are relatively low: Uber for instance is $4-5 for a half hour ride. Museums are free or low-cost. Interesting history.

Rio is amazing the beach, night life you can have a great time. Don't wave your phone around and be mindful of your surroundings; a lot of the locals speak some English everyone is friendly and helpful except for a few bad actors so just be smart
"I had an issue with dates when I first booked and hotels.com tried to resolve it by phone for me to no avail. The property would not answer or if they did the hotel management would not be available. When i arrived at the property I walked in and found both managers at front desk. I told them about my issue and they promptly took care of it. "
